Road Construction

If you thought the road construction was a temporary inconvenience just WAIT!! I just got this postcard in the mail today.

This is a major project and it appears will be take a long time. How long I don't know. That's what the meeting is about.

Thursday, September 4, 2025

4:00 - 6:00 pm

Elmwood Fire Hall.

But it sounds we are going to get some improvements, shoulders to Hwy 1 maybe, improved lighting at Hwy 34 and Hwy 1

Attached is the formal DOT legal notice. It appears construction could begin as early as spring of 2027 with completion as early as fall of 2028

COME ON OVER!

This is how country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity. People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.

Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
