Board approves adding northern portion of Martin Street to county road system
Summary
After a public hearing and comments from six affected landowners, the Tazewell County Board voted Jan. 7 to accept the northern portion of Martin Street into the county road system and pledged to include it in future grading and paving schedules.
Following a public hearing, the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors voted to accept the northern portion of Martin Street into the county road system and directed staff to include it in the county’s road‑work ranking.
Planning staff explained the referral history: the planning commission and its roads committee inspected the stretch and recommended acceptance; six landowners along the northern portion were notified as required. Residents who spoke at the hearing described poor road conditions and maintenance costs they had borne personally. A supervisor moved to accept the road and the motion passed on a voice vote.
Board members acknowledged the acceptance does not immediately guarantee paving but said the road will be placed on the county schedule for grading and future paving cycles. Officials asked staff to confirm public‑notice timing and to coordinate the required legal filings with the circuit court.
The board closed the hearing and adopted the motion; staff said the road will be added to the county’s road list and considered in the next paving cycle.
