no development along the Joseph Proctor Bypass KY 499

Eight years have gone by since the construction of the new Joseph Proctor bypass. As of the summer of 2008, not one business has located along this new road. While it is nice to be able to cruise the bypass free of stop lights and congestion, the once anticipated bypass hasn't created one new commercial job!

The new access road to the Estill County industrial park hasn't been built.
For sale/lease signs have rotted or rusted. Lots more FOR SALE or FOR LEASE signs than COMING SOON signs.

Unlike other bypasses around the state, this bypass looks no different than it did 8 years ago. It is time for Estill County official to examine why real growth hasn't occured along this new road.
