Atchison Co Moves Forward On Road Acquisition

(KAIR)--There is a stretch of K-74 Highway in Atchison County that should become the county's responsibility very soon.

Atchison County Commission Chair Jeff Schuele says that county officials have met with KDOT, and he is confident that the transfer will be complete by the second or third week of December this year. He explains that what KDOT has done over the past year or so, is to take certain portions of highway that they do not want to maintain going forward, and are turning them over to the county.

Schuele goes on to say that the transfer process is not an easy one, with about a dozen people living on the highway that will have to have new addresses, and that goes from US73/K7 to the town of Potter.

The County Commission heard from County Counselor Patrick Henderson and Emergency Management Director Wes Lander during their meeting last week regarding the steps that needed to be taken to make the transaction as seamless as possible.
