Frankfort, Kentucky (April 3, 2025) – House Transportation Chair John Blanton of Salyersville announced this week that Magoffin County will receive $72,595 in infrastructure funding under legislation approved by the Kentucky House and Senate.
Projects include the following:
• $40,155 to the City of Salyersville for the resurfacing of Coal Branch Road
• $32,440 to the Magoffin County Fiscal Court for the resurfacing of Bennie Patrick Road
“It goes without saying that our infrastructure is one of the most important facets in any growing community,” Blanton said. “Making our roadways safer now will create impacts in Magoffin County that will be recognized for years to come.”
HJR 46 outlines which local maintenance projects receive state funding in the next fiscal year. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s (KYTC), Department of Rural and Municipal Roads collected applications for city and county road resurfacing and other safety projects from local officials across the Commonwealth. KYTC graded the requests and submitted their findings to the Legislative Research Commission and Interim Joint Committee on Appropriations and Revenue to review. Projects are ranked one to ten based on the severity, with ten being the most hazardous. HJR 46 only funds the road projects ranking ten on the scale. Under the measure, 145 projects are funded, totaling over $23.8 million.
