Ozark, Christian County – A project to widen Jackson Street (Route 14) in Ozark will be the focus of a public meeting scheduled for Thursday, June 15, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
The public is invited to attend the come-and-go style meeting to learn more about the plans to add lanes to Jackson Street between 16th Street and the Finley River bridge and widen the intersection of Jackson Street/Route NN/10th Street.
