Paxton funds to be used for road repairs

PAXTON – After stockpiling motor fuel tax funds for several years, the Paxton City Council is ready to spend some of that money.

On Monday night, the street and alley committee voted 4-0 to recommend spending up to $160,000 to repave portions of Taft and Summer streets, two of the busiest streets in town.
