In a recent meeting, the City of Maysville's governing body approved multiple resolutions aimed at enhancing local infrastructure through grant funding. The resolutions authorize the acceptance of grants for various projects, including the Rotary and Wall Street pump stations, Beasley Creek pump station, and upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant. Each resolution includes provisions for amending the city’s annual budget to accommodate the incoming funds and designates Mayor Deborah Cottrill as the authorized official to sign all related documents.
The Kentucky General Assembly has allocated funds for these infrastructure projects as part of House Bill 1 from the 2024 regular session. The city has determined that these improvements are in the public interest, and the grants will facilitate the acquisition and construction of necessary facilities.
Additionally, the governing body accepted a bid for the annual paving contract, awarding it to Brown County Construction for $196,808.15, which was deemed the best and lowest bid following a competitive bidding process.
These initiatives reflect Maysville's commitment to improving its infrastructure and ensuring the efficient management of public resources. The resolutions are set to take effect as soon as legally permissible, marking a significant step forward for the city’s development projects.
