Widening Route 97 in Westminster is top transportation priority in Carroll County

The Board of Carroll County Commissioners will get its first look Thursday at a list of the transportation priorities in the county, and like last year, the widening of Route 97 in Westminster tops the list. The county must send its priorities in a letter to the Maryland Department of Transportation by April 1. If approved by the state, funding will be included in the Maryland Consolidated Transportation Program, the state’s six-year capital budget for transportation projects.
