County Agrees to Consider Small Dirt-and-Grade Work for City of Taylor Pavilion Project

Houston County commissioners reviewed a request from the City of Taylor for dirt-and-grade assistance to prepare a pavilion and playground pad.

The County Engineer said there are no plans yet but that the city expected to open bids next month; he estimated the work would require about 18 to 20 loads of dirt for two small pads. He emphasized the county would need finalized plans before beginning work.

"It's only, like, 18 to 20 loads of dirt, 2 small pads. So I got a plan that's that big of a project. But if there's any hope of fitting it in ... We need to go ahead and get this approved so that when it comes in, we can do the work," the County Engineer said.

Commissioners said partnering with smaller towns to assist projects is desirable. The Chair asked whether there were objections to placing the item on the agenda; none were recorded in the provided transcript. No formal authorization for the work is recorded in the excerpt.
