A drop in state gasoline tax revenues means the county will be paving fewer state and county roads this year.

A year ago, the county received a C-Fund allocation of nearly $1 million. However, that figure has dipped to about $630,000 this year.

Just how that money will be divvied up among the council districts was determined at Monday's Cherokee County Council meeting.

Councilman Charles Mathis, who has the most amount of road miles in his district, received the largest appropriation of $113,031.

District 2 councilman Bailey Humphries had the next-largest appropriation of $96,519.

Councilman James Batchler received $88,506 to pave roads in District 7, while councilman Hoke Parris got $69,931 for road improvements in his district.

District 3 councilman Quay Little received $50,384 and District 4 councilman Tim Spencer got $22,582.

District 1 Councilman Rufus Foster received $10,000 in road paving money.

Although there was some talk the county would reduce its C-Fund allocation to municipalities, it kept the funding levels for those municipalities at $150,000 for the City of Gaffney and $35,000 for the Town of Blacksburg.

Funds for state road improvements are divvied up on a rotating bases between groups of council members. This year, Humphries, Mathis and Batchler will receive Cfunds to pave state roads. Mathis received the largest portion, nearly $75,000, while Humphries got $54,000 and Batchler received 51,000.
