BOWLING GREEN - The State Controlling Board yesterday approved the release of $200,000 to Kokosing Construction Co. Inc. to accelerate the widening and resurfacing project on State Route 64, to be completed this year.

The project alters 1.4 miles of East Wooster Street and includes new pavement, storm drainage, and installation of curbs, gutters, sidewalks, street lighting, and signs, and the replacement of traffic signals.
