Appreciates Public Works Dept.
High five, and a sincere thank you to Casey Bush and his crew at Columbus Public Works for the work done on Military Road this week. Casey personally dropped by my office a couple of weeks ago to visit with me, and we discussed areas of concern. Old fences on the right of way were removed, overgrown shrubbery has been trimmed and even curbing has been cleaned along the right of way from the city limits back towards the 82 overpass. Military Road has always been a significant thoroughfare, but has received less attention after the opening of the “new Highway 12” years ago. This positive activity is very much appreciated by those of us who operate local, tax-paying businesses along this route and everyone that travels Military Road daily.
