Jefferson City and Cole County officials will gather Wednesday afternoon for a ribbon-cutting for the completion of the $6-million Wildwood Drive extension project.
A 1 pm ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned at the intersection of Wildwood drive and West Edgewood. Jefferson City spokeswoman Molly Bryan tells 939 the Eagle that the city contributed a little more than $2-million for the project, while the county paid for the rest. Funding was provided by the voter-approved capital improvement sales tax.
Supporters say the long-planned project opens a new transportation corridor for Jefferson City.
