The head of county government in one southeastern Kentucky county says it’s not often financially feasible to do more than simple road maintenance. Magoffin County Judge Executive Matt Wireman said the just- received state funding totaling almost $355,000 will allow for more substantial resurfacing of three county roads. Wireman said those dollars are harder to come by.
“You see we get zero dollars to pave gravel roads and we have a lot of gravel roads that need paving. Just in Magoffin County I have over 900 county roads and the distance on them are over 300 miles,” said Wireman.
