Public comment period open for Green Gap roads project

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Forest Service have released proposed action and entered the scoping phase of the roads project, that could impact the Green Gap area of Montgomery County.

The public comment period for this project started March 30th and is open for 30 days. Rep. Richard Hudson has contacted members of the Green Gap community to alert them to the time of this comment period.

This is a project Rep. Hudson has worked on for an extended period of time. His most recent visit to that area was last fall, where he updated local residents on the status of the project.

Comments can be made in writing, either via e-mail to SM.FS.R8ncuwhcom@usda.gov or via facsimile to (252) 638-5628. People must include "Uwharrie Roads Project" in the subject line of their email or fax. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will become part of the public record for this project. Any comments with profanity will not be considered.

Rep. Hudson has worked on improving the roads in the forest since entering Congress as a way to improve the economy and quality of life throughout our community.
