Neighbors,
Supervisor John McKay is proposing to extend Belle Fontaine Rd. straight north to old Spanish Trail. This will eliminate our need to travel on Hamil Farm Road which floods during heavy rain, eliminate the elbow turn north of the new causeway bridge on Belle Fontaine Rd where people sometimes slide off the road, and give our growing area population a faster, more reliable, and safer means to evacuate in the event of a hurricane.
To help pay for the construction, McKay is attempting to have some federal evacuation funds diverted from Highway 57 improvement. Senator Lott supports the diversion of some funds but Congressman Gene Taylor declines to support it. It seems he doesn't oppose it but so far he declines to take action to take action necessary for diversion of the funds. Therefore,we need to discuss it. If enough of us are discussing this, we will get Gene's attention and he will probably come here for a town meeting to discuss what should be done. Also, after our discussion, each of us needs to send Gene a fax to demonstrate the breath and depth of our concern. To fax Gene, you can use the following link:
