Beshear Attends Ribbon Cutting In Whitesburg
KENTUCKY....
Governor Steve Beshear attended a ribbon cutting in Whitesburg Wednesday to celebrate changes to Highway 15. Beshear said he heard people grumbling about the federal stimulus package, but that money paid for much needed road improvements throughout the state. Construction included widening bridges and installing a new left turn lane. At Wednesday's ceremony, Beshear presented the city of Jenkins with a $600,000 check which will go toward repairing the city's aging water lines. Letcher County Judge Executive Jim Ward says stimulus funding will be used to repair other bridges throughout the county, and more projects are on the way.
