2019: STARK CO PUBLIC OFFICIAL/FIGURE "NEW YEAR" RESOLUTIONS

DECEMBER 27, 2018 THROUGH JANUARY 1, 2019
& 
Beyond?

DECEMBER 29 & 30TH

"Notwithstanding 'the federal government partial shutdown,"'  Stark County Commissioner Richard Regula to announce at the commissioners' meeting of January 2, 2019 that he has had "breakthrough success' on his pre-2019 'resolve' to obtain federal, state and local funding needed to build a four lane divided highway from Trump Road in Canton through what remains in Ohio to the Pennsylvania state line!

Frequently, at the end of weekly Stark County commissioners meetings 

• (for the most part held at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in the commissioners meeting room on the second floor of the Stark County Office Building)

Commissioner Janet Creighton, president of the Board of Stark County Commissioners, will inquire of fellow commissioners Bill Smith and Richard Regula as to whether or not either has a comment or observation to make.

Fairly often Commissioner Regula volunteers a "progress report" on his pet project of extending a limited access highway from Stark County's Trump Road to the Pennsylvania state line.  On some occasions, Commissioner Creighton teases Regula into updating the Stark County public on recent developments on the US 30 project.

Here is a SCPR video clip showing such an exchange from the commissioners meeting of December 12, 2018:

This blogger is old enough to remember that back in the 1950s some folks who wanted to travel from Gettysburg, Pa (this blogger's hometown and which through US 30 runs as it does in Canton) did so by Greyhound bus over US 30 taking a grand total of 13 hours.

Though US 30 runs coast-to-coast there are sections which are not limited access highways as in the Gettysburg, Pa area and the mountains to the  west of Gettysburg.
