Video & Photo Gallery: Sullivan Commission Wants New Road From I-81's Exit 63 To Memorial Boulevard

BLOUNTVILLE — The 24-member Sullivan County Commission voted unanimously Monday to ask state lawmakers to add the road project previously known as Airport Parkway North to a list of projects included in the state’s IMPROVE Act earlier this year. That legislation outlined how an increase in the state’s gasoline tax would fund major road projects across the state, with a list of projects within each of the state’s 95 counties. The Airport Parkway North project is not on the list of IMPROVE Act projects within Sullivan County.
