Wright County opts to apply for STBG funding to rebuild segments of R 38 using concrete (Option 1) After weighing four alternatives for R 38 preservation, the board voted to submit a Region 5 Surface Transportation Block Grant application for Option 1, a heavier-duty concrete repair that county staff estimate will be longer‑lasting and require federal STP/STBG funds plus farm-to-market supplements.

Wright County supervisors just approved a major funding application to revitalize R 38 with a durable concrete solution that promises to outlast asphalt for decades!
