Airport Road Detention Pond Project
Description
First reading passed accepting the $85,000 low bid from McCoy Construction for a regional detention pond, well below bids over $2 million. The contractor has a buyer for the excavated dirt (headed to TVA), and the board wants a letter of intent plus attorney review before final passage.
Impact summary
The regional detention pond supports stormwater management for development around Airport Road at a fraction of expected cost.
