The North Carolina Department of Public Transportation is asking the people of Yancey County to weigh in on the future of the county's transpotation.
Yancey County is updating its Comprehensive Transportation Plan, which was last released in 2008. The plan will map out what transportation will look like in the county for the next 30 years, according to NC DOT.
The plan is being developed by NC DOT, local governments, the High Country Rural Planning Organization, and a local stakeholder Steering Committee. Soon the group will be asking for public comment.
A public survey will open up on July 13. The deadline for comment is August 14.
Here is the link to the survey.
