Why does it take so long to get a road improved and why isn't my road on the list?

Although $1,100,000 is a substantial amount of money, it costs over $650,000 to pave one mile of roadway, or $20,000 to rock one mile. There are 269 miles of dirt roads in Georgetown County and there is no question that everyone wants to live on an improved road. Even though the "C" Fund Program was established to improve roads, such funds have also been used for resurfacing paved roads, constructing sidewalks, and installing traffic signals, which are important, but limits even further the actual amount available for road improvements.
