A proposal by Okaloosa County Commissioner Nathan Boyles’ to have at least 50 miles of dirt roads in the north county paved in five years failed to receive the full support of his fellow commissioners. However, the board unanimously agreed to a substitute road-upgrade proposal by Commissioner Kelly Windes to spend 1.6 million dollars to pave about eight miles of dirt roads by the end of the current budget year. Funding would then be reassessed so more paving could take place in later years. The money for the upgrades will come from the county’s 10-year local option half-cent sales tax.
