What a busy week it has been. Thanks to the Bracken County Road Department & Magistrate Craig Miller. (Pictured below are Magistrate William Craig Miller, Road Supervisor Stacey Florer, Derek Davidson, Mark Hamilton, and Rodney Fryman.) We were working on the final plans for the walking bridge and the dig for the walking trail. I greatly appreciate the teams we have working out the details to make it possible to complete these grant projects for our county! A ton of work and details go into these projects before the contractor arrives to perform their part of the work. Again, thanks to all!
