Town To Resurface State Line Road; Eventually Industrial Blvd.

February 5, 2009

The Town of Century has awarded a $128,437.30 paving contract to Roads, Inc. of NWF for State Line Road.

State Line from Highway 29 to Shady Lane will be resurfaced under the contract, a distance of about a half mile.

Roads, Inc. was also the low bidder on repaving a section of Industrial Boulevard in the town’s industrial park. Roads, Inc.’s bid to repave first two-tenths of a mile of Industrial Boulevard off Highway 4 was $88,520. The town has not yet accepted that bid because they are hoping that a hurricane debris contractor will pick up the tab.

The road was reportedly damaged by the debris contractor hauling debris during Hurricane Ivan. The contractor had agreed, according to the mayor, to repair the road before leaving town. They did not.

Now they will be presented with the $88,520 bid and asked to pay up. If they don’t, the town plans to look at legal action, according to Mayor Freddie McCall, in order to recover the funds.

The State Line repaving project will be paid for out of of Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) funds.

    Watch out, Century! A “catfish pond” coming near you, too, most likely…
