Pedway nixed from Rainbow Drive upgrades

The switch on Rainbow Drive will ultimately save the commission on construction and right-of-way acquisition costs, but added about $18,000 to design fees what will have to be changed. The commission approved funding culvert upgrades near Rainbow Drive to improve stormwater drainage in the area; the improvements are estimated to cost between $20,000 and $30,000. The commission did not receive any offers for Baptist Tabernacle for its original $222,500 asking price within 30 days of letting the property for sale; that means the commission can accept a lower offer for the Tabernacle building. The commission discussed its intentions to purchase the CCE, Inc. property at 2045 Silver Street
