    Did any one go to the meeting yesterday (2/2/2016) at Wilson's Mill's Elementary School about the US 70 expansion or know any details about it?

    Map of the proposed layout would be helpful if someone had one to upload.

    I did not attend the meeting, but I do know that property acquisition is part of the project. You can email the project managers if you like, usually they are pretty responsive.
