FC roads continue to be a 'maintenance hole'

FC roads continue to be a 'maintenance hole'

Fayette County Engineer Joel Fantz revealed his updated five-year road plan to the Fayette County Supervisors on Monday, March 13.

The map Fantz used to illustrate his plan, showing what will be funded through 2022, remains largely the same from last year other than some minior changes in priorities. 

“The map was largely misunderstood last year when it was in the paper,” Fantz explained. “People looked at it real quick and said, ‘Oh, you're planning on getting a lot done,’ but the important thing is there’s a huge shortfall.”

The county engineer was very direct about the state of hot-mix asphalt roads in Fayette County.
