Governor unveils I-66 Corridor sign here
By GINA KINSLOW/Glasgow Daily Times 3/24/05
 Gov. Ernie Fletcher was on hand Wednesday afternoon for the dedication of the route Interstate 66 will take through Barren County.
I-66, a corridor spanning from the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia to the Mississippi River Valley, will follow the path of the Louie B. Nunn Parkway.
"I-66 will help us bring in more tourists," he told a group who had gathered for the dedication ceremony at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's maintenance garage on Cavalry Drive in Glasgow. "It will help us open parts of the state that haven't been as open. When I first took office, we had this vision: safe, reliable transportation that supports Kentucky's future, improved economic growth and an overall improved quality of life."
And Fletcher, along with other state officials, believe I-66 accomplishes that goal.
"The I-66 corridor supports the idea to bring new growth to all people of Kentucky," said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Secretary Bill Nighbert. |
