The City of Victoria City Council made significant strides towards enhancing local infrastructure during their meeting on March 4, 2025, by approving a construction contract that promises to save the city over a million dollars. The council received two proposals for a key project, with CK Newberry LLC from Carn City submitting the lowest bid of $4,847,489.
