The Franklin County Commission will meet again next week to decide what road projects will move ahead.
During the commission's regular meeting Friday, a couple of options were discussed concerning ways to spend federal aid project money.
Commissioner Stratt Byars said he wanted to use the money to repair a section of Franklin 48 through the Tharptown community. Commissioner Howard Hutcheson wants to use the funds to make repairs on Franklin 58.
