During a recent government meeting, Jim Grutch, the highway administrator, provided updates on two key items relevant to the highway department.
Firstly, Grutch discussed the approval of a commission order for Force America, a company specializing in hydraulic fittings and hoses. While the financial implications of this purchase are minimal, Grutch emphasized its direct benefit to the highway department.
Secondly, he announced that construction on Clearview Road is set to commence tomorrow, with completion expected by Tuesday evening. The project will involve milling the entire roadway surface and resurfacing it, along with necessary striping. Grutch assured that the contractor is well aware of the critical need for effective traffic control, given the road's high traffic volume.
The meeting also marked the return of Commissioner Bolland, who had participated virtually in the previous session, highlighting a sense of continuity and collaboration among the commission members.
