The people who live right along this route are going to be able to get to school, to work, and to church that much faster, and it's going to be a jobs magnet. Having a type of road like this today is a good day for infrastructure. It's a good day for Floyd County and the entire region. The connector, which was 30 years in the making, provides a direct and time-saving link between Kentucky Highway 80 at Mini and US Highway 23 in Herald. The link will cut nearly eight miles off of the drive from Pikeville to Hazard. What you see are people excited about the future, who see a better life, a commonwealth, and a better world in front of us that are pushing out the pessimism and realizing we have so much potential right now. It's really exciting to celebrate with everyone. Along with the highways ribbon-cutting, the governor also gave out more than $4.1 million in funding and grants to various Eastern Kentucky organizations. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
