  • Pascal Costanzo and the Renovation of United States Route 25-E Middlesboro Lies in the Extreme Southeastern Corner of the State
    Pascal Costanzo and the Renovation of United States Route 25-E1 Middlesboro lies in the extreme Southeastern corner of the state of Kentucky. It is nestled up against the Cumberland Gap, which provides a natural border between the states of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee. It is squarely situated in the heart of the Appalachian region of the United States. Its remote location in a heavily mountainous area makes it difficult to reach, and because of that, the area has suffered greatly. Floods from mountain runoff, chronic unemployment, and chaotic swings in the coal mining industry made the area “susceptible to more severe economic and population shifts than the rest of the nation.2” When the Interstate Highway system began development after the signing of the 1956 Federal Highway Aid Act by Dwight Eisenhower, no plans were in place to bring the highway through Middlesboro, Kentucky. This left roads through and over the mountains near Middlesboro treacherous and underdeveloped, keeping the town as a remote Appalachian location. In the early 1960s, towns vied for access to the new Interstate Highway system and its promise of economic development to the areas which it passed. A local resident of Middlesboro by the name of Pascal Costanzo led a grass roots campaign for road development. He was a local businessman in the area who had the foresight to acknowledge that the town could not develop economically without a four lane road granting easier access.3 1 I would like to thank all of those who helped me in this project, as I traveled on site to Middlesboro, Kentucky.
