Summary: The commenter argues that the project would have a devastating impact on farmland and legacy farms in Dubois and Martin Counties. They contend that the $3.4 billion cost is a waste of taxpayer funds and that the money should instead be used to maintain existing infrastructure.
The impact this project would have on farmland and the legacy farms throughout Dubois and Martin Counties would be devastating. There would be more negative impact if the road continues to be a project to be completed than it would if not completed leaving farmland and legacy farms intact. There are numerous projects throughout the State of Indiana that have been canceled or indefinitely postponed due to lack of funds. The 3.4 Billion Dollars that this project is estimated to cost should be used to maintain and improve the infrastructure already in place. There is no need for a new-terrain highway in Southern Indiana. This unwarranted road project is an inexcusable waste of taxpayer funds.
