Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The multi-year Melton Parkway Expansion Project is conducting a public information meeting regarding the MacGuffin Floyd County segment of the expansion. So the MacGuffin Floyd County segments, this is the last piece of the parkway needed to complete it. And so we're, you know, beginning, you know, actively involved in design work, environmental studies and geotechnical studies. And we have a public meeting scheduled for the 21st to show the citizens of the locals what our preferred option is or what our preferred alternate is. And just to get their feedback and get any thoughts or opinions and help us move the project forward. When the project is completed, the Melton Parkway will run more than 90 miles between Interstate 64 and US-23 in eastern Kentucky. A four-lane facility brings a lot of different pluses to the community. Increased mobility, better access to healthcare, commerce, you know, whenever employers look at different areas, that's usually one of the first things they look for is a four-lane facility. So this will hopefully bring more, you know, commerce to the area, more businesses, and also help with tourism, that people see a four-lane facility on a map to go to a scenic area, then that's, of course, going to draw them. The project will complete a four-lane, high-speed route across the length of the state from Paduca to Pikeville. Construction on the MacGuffin Floyd segment has not began and the completion date has not been determined. We're looking forward to the project. We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. And so we want to make this reality. It's going to be a great benefit for the Commonwealth as a whole and especially in eastern Kentucky. And we look forward to seeing everybody at our meeting next week on the 21st and talk to us and give us their thoughts and opinions. And hopefully, you know, hopefully everyone will like what we have to show them and be behind us. The public meeting will be an open house format held at the MacGuffin County Hospital in Siresville on February 21st from 5.30 to 7.30. For more information, visit mtnparkway.com.
