Marcelyn Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Dottie Atwater in Volcan:. What are your thoughts regarding the Conception-Volcan road widening? Will this help the agricultural area enough to support the estimated cost of approx. $100m? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Atwater Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Marcelyn, I really can't comment about how much this would help the agricultural area. And frankly, I don't have a problem with the road between Concepcion and Volcan as it now exists with its beautiful views. Sometimes a long line of cars is behind a VERY slow-moving truck, so for better safety (for those in a BIG hurry) perhaps the government could create a few widened passing areas. That would be a lot less expensive than a four-lane road. As an aside, a year or two ago a huge cold-storage plant was built to keep veges fresh prior to shipping but as far as I know, it has never been operational.

I think there was also one (cold-storage plant) built in Potrerillo Acequia which has never been used. I read somewhere that the previous administration contracted for these with an apparent financial gain in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF13 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I drive past the one in Acequia nearly every day, I think I have seen a truck in there once....it was backed up to a bay door but it could have been a decoy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
