PLYMOUTH — As the paving/road repair season winds to a close, Marshall County Highway
Superintendent Jason Peters was asked by the Marshall County Commissioners to give a sort of “State of the Highway” address with his assessment of what his department has been able to accomplish during the season.
Peters told the Commissioners that his paving crew was entirely new this year, which has a learning curve to go with it, but said that the members of that crew were willing to learn, and that made the process easier, saying he could easily see the improvement over the year. Peters said the county investing in keeping employees would pay great dividends, adding that the chip and seal crew for the county as evidence.
Peters said challenges in finding the right materials had also been a problem, but felt the investment in new equipment had also helped overall.
