“C” funds for two Fair Play road projects

Oconee’s three-member state “C” Fund Committee authorized funding on Friday to improve two Fair Play roads which feed into Interstate 85.  The vote approves funds for work on both SC 59 and 243.  One committee member, however, said he thought at least three other heavier traveled state roads in the county were in worse shape and more deserving.  Dick Cottingham identified the three as Seneca’s E-N 1st Street, Fairview Church Road, and a five-mile section of highway 11 north from 28.  Cottingham was told, however, that the DOT has already programmed part of highway 11 there for improvements.
