SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 14

(By Senators Bailey, Tomblin, Mr. President,

Jackson and Wooton)

Requesting the Division of Highways conduct a feasibility study for upgrading Route 10 from Man, Logan County, to Route 19 in Mercer County.

Whereas, Accessibility from the southern portion of Logan County to the extreme southern part of West Virginia is difficult; and
Whereas, Enhancing the economy of southern West Virginia is vital to the citizens of this isolated area of our state; and
Whereas, The upgrading of Route 10 from Man, Logan County, to Route 19 in Mercer County would make a connection from central southern West Virginia to an area close to the Virginia border; and
Whereas, In order to enhance the job opportunities of citizens in isolated areas of southern West Virginia, upgrading the existing route to the Princeton, Mercer County area would serve as a catalyst in providing jobs and economic stability to central southern West Virginia; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Division of Highways conduct a feasibility study regarding the upgrading of Route 10 from Man, Logan County, to Route 19 in Mercer County; 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.
