A Republican lawmaker who helped write the legislation is disappointed in the low number of applications for Wisconsin’s Agricultural Road Improvement Program. State Senator Howard Marklein says he’s surprised, especially with the large number of town and county roads that need improvements to handle heavy agricultural and forestry traffic
“We need a lot of applications, because if there isn’t the demand, the chances are not that good that it’s going to be renewed in the next budget. If we don’t have, if we can’t demonstrate that there’s a need,” Marklein said.
The Agricultural Road Improvement Program has already distributed $50 million this year, and the deadline for the second round of $100 million is the end of September.
