It will be a while before Virtue Road reopens to through traffic — sometime well into 2022. This reconstruction project, at a cost of $2.865 million, combined with the cost of upgrading the facilities at McFee Park, around $8 million, represents the Town of Farragut’s two biggest on-going projects. Is the cost worth the price tag? Have Town officials been convincing in selling the benefits reaped from spending almost $11 million on these projects? If not both, is at least one of them worth the cost? Or is this a double slam dunk: money well spent to improve tough road conditions on Virtue, and money to eventually bring even more enjoyment to an already popular McFee Park?
