State Route 31 West Corridor Study Town Hall

Traveling west from Somerset, PA this route is a main artery leading to the turn onto Trent Road for Seven Springs and to Hidden Valley's front door step! Wednesdays meeting (March 25th) is the second Town Hall session to be held concerning this corridor. Click here for the overview of the study.

Basically the study concentrated on the ten mile stretch of 31 from Somerset Boro to the County boundary (right before Fern Mountain, after Hidden Valley). Properties having frontage on Rt 31 were the focus. Just as Donegals considered the Gateway to the Laurel Highlands, Rt 31 is a major gateway to attractions in the western part of Somerset County. Including both resorts and Laurel Hill, Kooser, and Laurel Ridge State Parks.

Discussions will include the possible impacts of more development in the area. Christy Burnside DeMuth, Senior Planner for Mackin Engineering Company (project consultant for the study) will be there. Also in attendance will be Brad Zearfoss, AICP, Director of the Somerset County Planning Commission. You'll want to be at the Bakersville Volunteer Fire Department at 6:30 PM.

If you live or work in Jefferson or Somerset Township you'll want to stop and see what Rt 31 MAY look like ten and twenty years from now! Projections will be shared on potential developments scenarios and the impact on traffic. This meeting offers YOU the opportunity to better prepare for projected development softening the impact on your community and neighbors!

Keep in mind that infastructure for city water is already in the works and sewer should be following. This will open up new models of growth for this area. Granted it won't be overnight BUT that's the purpose of these meetings!! Be Prepared!! See you there!
