1-73 Route Good After Prospects Said Federal Hearing BY SUSAN USI1KK Area backers of a proposed Interstate 73 are optimistic about chances of the route becoming reali ty following a March 15 Con gressional hearing in Washington, D.C. North Carolina is one of six states involved in the Detroit-to-Charles ton corridor. Others arc West Vir ginia. Michigan, Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina. All six made five minute presentations last week to the U.S. House Subcommittee on Surfacc Transportation. The com mittee is expected to recommend a routing plan and to create a priority list for interstate funding. "A decision could come as early as May determining a route," said Richard Wright, a Tabor City attor ney and former chairman of the Tabor City Chamber of Commerce. "We have a feeling some route will be at least memorialized in a resolu tion." Wright said backers are "opti mistic" about the proposed route, es pecially through North Carolina, l-ast year he and other Tabor City business leaders helped initiate a change of route through North Carolina that, with the enthusiastic support of state Board of Trans portation member Odell Willamson of Ocean Isle Beach, won that board's unanimous backing. "North Carolina is united and South Carolina is not," said Wright. "I think that bodes well for North Carolina's plan." North Carolina originally intend ed for 1-73 to run into the central section of South Carolina from U.S. 220 at Rockingham. Now the route turns east at Rockingham along U.S. 74 by Whiteville and into Brunswick County, connecting with U.S. 17 in the Grissettown-Calabash sector and then emptying into the Myrtle Beach, S.C. area. It would he the first interstate to serve the Grand Strand. The North Carolina plan also offers an 1-95 connector for south hound travelers coming from the North. Ninety-five percent of the pro posed North Carolina route is al ready scheduled for upgrading with federal highway funds, including U.S. 74. The segment from White ville to U.S. 17 in Brunswick County is the only stretch of that has not heen settled. Williamson said. South Carolina has three 1-73 routing factions. One group supports the original plan that would run 1-73 through Florence. Another group wants the interstate run through Bennettsvillc then on to Myrtle Beach, while a third likes the North Carolina plan. This past week Williamson said the Tar I leel plan gained the upfront support of a coalition of about 20 South Carolina legislators represent ing the Grand Strand area. Their res olution in support of the route was entered into the Congressional record last Tuesday. According to Wright, the 20 real ize North Carolina's plan is the only way to hring interstate service to the Grand Strand area within the near future. Virginia's plan for connecting l 73 with North Carolina doesn't match the Tar Heel plan, hut Wright said he thinks that will not he a problem. Virginia had proposed 1-73 entering North Carolina on U.S. 220 near Greensboro, though a previous federal route resolution called for a corridor serving Winston-Salem. Should 1-73 follow Interstate 77 into North Carolina, it would pick up U.S. 220 south of Greensboro, he said.
