Mercer County Board Hears Concern Over Roads; Dollar General Coming To Sherrard

Condition of Joy Blacktop in January.

It’s been a rough winter weather-wise in Mercer County and even a rougher winter for county roads.  It’s an issue District 4 county board member Josh Frieden of New Boston brought up at last night’s Mercer County Board meeting, but he says the highway department only has so much money and manpower to work with.

Mercer County Board Chairman Carlos Sarabasa says the expectation right now—with the funding sources available—is “band aid”.

Also last night, the Mercer County Board learned from zoning officer Angie Litterst that Dollar General plans to open a store in Sherrard.
