Commission approves Option 2 to repair Industrial Park Road, caps county share at $85,095
Summary
The commission voted to select Option 2 for repaving and repairs to Industrial Park Road, agreeing to split costs three ways (Stuart, Houston County and the Industrial Park) and to limit Houston County's liability to approximately $85,095.
The Houston County Commission approved a motion to select “Option 2” for repairs to the Industrial Park Road and authorized county funds not to exceed approximately $85,095 for Houston County’s share.
Commission discussion centered on which repair option to choose and who would pay. Commissioners agreed the repair would be split among three parties — the county, Stuart (presumably the city) and the Industrial Park — and that the county should not be on the hook for more than the stated cap. One commissioner described the roadway as “pretty bad” in places and said semi drivers are rerouting to avoid damaged sections.
The motion as amended specified the county’s financial exposure would not exceed the stated amount; commissioners also noted other entities have expressed an interest in contributing and that the Shipboard/Industrial Board and Stuart would have to approve their shares and bid the work as required. The vote on Option 2 passed on roll call.
