White Rock Tower access road cost overruns
The road project to reach the White Rocks radio tower site ballooned by $855,800 — from about $488,700 to $1.34 million — after unstable roadbed and contractor work done without authorization drove costs up. Commissioners approved the change order anyway to finish delivering tower equipment.
