In the beautiful hills of Hocking County, Ohio, a road project is underway on State Route 664 through the area of Old Man's Cave. This project is part of money granted under the Federal Transportation Reinvestment Act, and 6.5 million dollars has been granted to build a bypass around the park area. While the business owners who make a living off the 2.5 million tourists who visit the parks annually support this project in hopes of protecting pedestrians as they cross from the existing parking lot to the park entrance, many of the local residents believe that this project is a waste of taxpayer monies.Mary Chambers is a frequent local visitor to the park who believes that monies would have been better spent building a pedestrian walkway over the existing crosswalk.
Mendy Mata was a construction worker on the 2-year long reconstruction project after the last major flood in the park.
