ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Belmont County commissioners are anticipating recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and infrastructure upgrades to facilitate commerce.
During their Wednesday meeting, Martins Ferry resident Richard Hord mentioned winter’s impact on Belmont County’s roads and asked if funding was available to address repairs.
“Is that going to be a special challenge?” Hord asked.
“We meet with the county engineer (Terry Lively) pretty much on a regular basis to discuss his budget, how much he’s got going in and what kind of paving we can do,” Commissioner Jerry Echemann said, adding the paving of county roads for many years has chiefly been done through road use maintenance agreements with oil and gas companies that utilize the roads.
