Alcorn County: Supervisors approve Farmington Road paving contract
Alcorn County supervisors approved a $406,406.73 State Aid paving contract Monday for a little more than one mile of Farmington Road in the county's Second District, Alcorn County News reported Tuesday, citing the Daily Corinthian. The contract went to Cook & Son Construction of Smithville. The report does not give a start date or traffic plan, so approval should not be mistaken for work already underway.
