During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding the condition of Baron Creek Road were prominently discussed. Local leaders, including representatives from three fire companies—Marlola, Hebron, and Sharptown—expressed a unified desire for the road to be repaired. They emphasized the need for an additional access route to the northwest side of the county and highlighted the importance of establishing a water source in the area to enhance public safety.

Sheriff's input further underscored the urgency of the situation, as he advocated for the road's repair to improve safety for residents. Community member Bob Vameter also voiced his support for the road's restoration, noting that the cost of repairs has significantly increased over the past eight years due to ongoing deterioration. He urged the council to prioritize the project before costs escalate further.

In addition to the discussions on Baron Creek Road, Vameter commended the council for their recent work on Atholl Road, praising the quality of the repaving efforts. He expressed gratitude that the road improvements were made before his teenage years, suggesting that the previous condition could have led to trouble for young drivers.

The meeting highlighted the importance of community engagement, with calls for further discussions with residents, businesses, and organizations to gather their opinions on the necessary repairs. The council's responsiveness to these concerns will be crucial in addressing the needs of the community moving forward.
