A Kentucky widow faces eviction in March because people want to build a road through the home she and her husband lived in for 55 years.
Janet Arnett, 76, bought a 63-acre home in Saylorsville, Kentucky, with her late husband Lowell in 1969. according to Go to YMT. They built a permanent home on the property in 1998 after living in a mobile home since they first purchased it. This is the home where Arnett spent the most important years of her life. This is where her husband died in 2015.
But now some people think it’s OK to build a section of the 45-mile road directly through her living room. Arnett’s family said, “This house and the surrounding land are about to be taken away from her due to the expansion of the Mountain Parkway and prominent land.” share said in a statement shared with the New York Post. “She’s losing everything.”

Project website I will explain How is “an undivided limited access highway spanning four parcels of land from US 460 to Salyersville (Magoffin County) to KY404 in Prestonsburg (Floyd County)”?
“Yes, they are ‘buying’ it from her. But she doesn’t care about money. She wants to live her remaining years in her home,” Arnett’s daughter said in her statement. (Related: Rich liberals furious after Native Americans decide to build high-rise building on land in tribal city)
“It’s a small house, but to me it’s a mansion,” Arnett told WYMT. This home helped raise his two generations of Arnett’s family and was described as the “epicenter” of their kinship. Frankly, I can’t believe there are people who don’t believe in God enough to do this to a fellow American citizen. Who could justify destroying such an important house to build a road?
Mountain Parkway Expansion Co. did not immediately respond to The Daily Caller’s request for comment and clarification.
