FEATURE (PART 2 OF 3)
Last week, another milestone in the development of Interstate Highway 69 passed. The Indiana Department of Transportation held a required public hearing about the environmental impact statement regarding section four of the highway, stretching from Crane Naval Surface Warfare Base and connecting to state road 37 in southern Monroe County. We sent WFHB's Assistant News Director January Jones to talk to citizens and INDOT about the plans. In the second part in a three part series airing on the Daily Local News yesterday, today, and tomorrow, we hear from INDOT officials and the people who will be most affected by the highway.
