BERLIN — The city council is considering whether Berlin should extend its ownership of Route 110 another two miles west to include the entrance to Jericho Mountain State Park. If the city took ownership, it would be responsible for maintaining and plowing that additional section of road.
But in turn, Berlin would control driveway permits for potential businesses and have the authority to open the entire section to ATV use. City Councilor Mark Eastman said businesses already have invested close to $5 million on that section of road and city ownership would spur greater economic development there.
