At the Aug. 4 Sellersburg Redevelopment Commission meeting staff reported progress on several local projects, including a traffic signal agreement, Greenwood sewer work, Camp Run lighting environmental review and resumed construction at the Wawa site.
Nick Lawrence told commissioners that the amended economic development agreement with Hutton (for a pre-funded utility fee account) has been executed by all parties and that an updated signature page for the signal agreement has been submitted to NDOT for permit issuance. “I’ve reached out to NDOT and asked them if there’s anything more required of the redevelopment commission or the town that we need to do to, so they can issue the permit to Hutton. I’ve not heard back yet,” Lawrence said. He added Hutton has also followed up with NDOT.
On Greenwood sewer, a JTL representative reported the contractor has completed punch-list items and that final billing remains. Staff said final billing and inspection charges will come out of TIF appropriations.
For Camp Run lighting, the consultant said draft environmental documents have been submitted for review and approval; no final agency approval date was provided at the meeting.
Separately, commission staff reported construction at the Wawa site has resumed with fencing and equipment on site. Commissioners asked that the on-site project sign for the Greenwood Road wastewater project be rewrapped and returned to the site so passersby understand the work underway; staff agreed to include sign rewrapping in project processes.
No new votes were taken on these projects during the meeting; staff said they will keep commissioners apprised of permitting and procurement steps as they progress.
