HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners gave approval to finance the landfill project during Tuesday’s agenda session. The landfill project includes closing off Mohawk Road along the east side of the landfill then building a new scale house and maintenance building.
The cost of the project is not to exceed $4,940,000. Bids for the project could go out later this month with a bid opening expected in December.
The Board also approved a contract with Reece Construction for replacing the Silver Lake Road bridge 11 miles west of Pretty Prairie. The cost of the project is $269,067. A federal grant will pay for more than $215,000 of the project while the county will pay the remaining $53,000.
The County also approved $823,000 in CARES funds to go out to various schools and non-profits in the county. The funds are to help offset losses due to the pandemic.
