Kentucky Widow Faces Eviction for Highway Expansion

Janet Arnett, 76, is fighting to keep her family home of 55 years as it faces demolition for the Mountain Parkway Expansion project.

Janet Arnett's home in Salyersville, Kentucky, is slated for demolition to make way for a new highway segment, despite her pleas to alter the project's path.
The Mountain Parkway Expansion project aims to create a four-lane highway through Magoffin and Floyd counties, directly impacting Arnett's property.
Arnett, who has lived in the home for over five decades, values the memories and significance of her home over any monetary compensation offered.
Efforts to save the home include reaching out to state officials and launching an online campaign, but solutions remain elusive.
The family emphasizes the home's role as a central gathering place for generations, underscoring the emotional toll of the potential loss.
