Reno County Commissioners Approve NBC Construction's Lowest Bid for Local Project

Local contractors are making waves in Reno County as the Board of County Commissioners recently approved a bid from NBC Construction, the lowest bidder for a significant project. The decision reflects a strong preference among commissioners to support local businesses, with one commissioner stating, "It's really nice to see local contractors bidding on Reno County items."

During the meeting, the commissioners expressed confidence in the capabilities of NBC Construction, emphasizing the importance of having local oversight on the project. One commissioner noted, "You're gonna be our eyes and ears on the project," highlighting the value of local engagement in ensuring project success.

The board unanimously voted to accept the bid, with all commissioners in favor, reinforcing their commitment to fiscal responsibility and community support. "In light of that, I think we do the thing we'd have to for people, save as much money as we can," one commissioner remarked before the motion passed.

In addition to the construction bid, the meeting also touched on the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funds, specifically aimed at enhancing childcare services in the county. The United Way of Reno County will act as the fiscal agent for these funds, ensuring that they are distributed effectively to local childcare facilities.

The decisions made during this meeting not only reflect a dedication to local economic support but also a strategic approach to utilizing federal funds for community development. As Reno County moves forward, the focus remains on fostering local partnerships and enhancing essential services for residents.
