In a heartbreaking turn of events, a Magoffin County widow’s home of more than five decades is in jeopardy after the expansion project of The Mountain Parkway is planned to run right through her front yard, which means the home would have to be demolished. Janet Arnett’s home has been a center of hop and love for generations for her family since they bought it in 1969, and now years later she has one question, why? Janet said it’s a small home, but to her, it’s a mansion. After requesting that the road be moved in front of or behind the home, they claim they were told there are development and structural issues that make that impossible. So, Arnett requested to move her home from its current foundation to a lower piece of the property. However, she claims officials told her there is no room for a septic tank to be installed for a move of that caliber.
