SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 13

(By Senators Bailey, Tomblin, Mr. President,

Jackson and Wooton)

Requesting the Division of Highways conduct a feasibility study for the construction of a highway from Man, Logan County, to the intersection of routes 85 and 99, and for the upgrading of routes 85 and 99 in Raleigh County.

Whereas, Traveling to Raleigh County from central southern West Virginia is difficult; and
Whereas, The ability of citizens in Logan and Wyoming counties to reach the fast-growing businesses and industries in Raleigh County and the interstate system would greatly enhance the accessibility of job markets to these citizens; and
Whereas, In order to enhance the job opportunities of citizens in isolated areas of southern West Virginia, opening an artery to the fast-growing businesses and industries in Raleigh County would serve as a vital link in providing jobs and economic stability to Logan and Wyoming counties; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways conduct a feasibility study for the construction of a highway from Man, Logan County, to the intersection of routes 85 and 99 in Raleigh County, and for the upgrading of routes 85 and 99; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the Senate is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and the Commissioner of the Division of Highways.
