Princeton will see even more record making paving dollars spent following an announcement by state officials.
At a special called City Council meeting Tuesday afternoon Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Commissioner Gray Tomblyn stated that Governor Matt Bevin recently approved a transportation grant for the city.
Mayor Kota Young expressed his gratitude to both the Governor and KYTC officials for their commitment to working with rural areas.
Following the announcement of funds Mayor Young proposed drawing $49,500 in reserve funds for the purpose of additional paving.
He noted that the city currently has plans to pave 31 roads, with paving to begin sometime in September.
Mayor Young then asked for citizens’ patience, explaining that 2019 won’t be an outlier year for paving, eventually over the next several years every city maintained road would have paving updates.
