$6.21 million low bid awarded for Mahoning Avenue industrial corridor upgrade

Mahoning County commissioners approved an award for the Mahoning Avenue Industrial Corridor upgrade project to Schelling Sands, the county engineer reported during the Aug. 28 meeting.

The county engineer said the low bid was Schelling Sands in the amount of $6,210,833.30 and that the project will be funded with non‑general funds.

Nut graf: The award commits county money (non‑general funds) to a large infrastructure contract, signaling movement toward construction on a corridor project intended to support industrial access and upgrades.

The meeting record does not include a project schedule, specific funding sources beyond "non‑general funds," or a start date for construction. Commissioners approved the resolution by roll call after the engineer described the award.

Less critical details: the award was presented as the low bid; no contract number or additional procurement documentation was read into the public record during the meeting.
