George Washington road leading to The Goat Hill Overlook is in need of resurfacing and drainage improvements. This road has seen increased traffic since the Goat Hill Overlook property was preserved by the state last year. The increased traffic on the road is generated by tourists to the historic and scenic preserved site. While the local residents welcome the visitors, the approach road (George Washington Road) is deteriorating due to increased use.
