Commission approves Celerity permits and parking ramp closure for county auction
Summary
Lawrence County approved seven utility/approach permits for Celerity Internet with a $418,500 bond and voted to close the county parking ramp for a multi-day Pearson Auctions event in late August, arranging staging and protective measures for county vehicles.
County highway staff recommended approving seven approach/utility permits from Celerity Internet to build cable from Lookout Mountain Road toward North St. Onge and recommended a bond amount based on estimated construction costs. Commissioners approved the permits with the recommended bond of $418,500.
Separately, Kevin McPherson of Pearson Auctions described plans for a three-day vehicle auction requiring staging inside the county parking ramp on Aug. 21-23 (auction Thursday through Saturday with staging beginning Wednesday afternoon). Commissioners voted to close the ramp for the event and directed staff not to block the quarter loop or roundabout; staff and auction representatives agreed to coordinate vehicle removal by the following Monday morning.
Commissioners discussed accommodations for county vehicles parked in the ramp and the need to protect vehicles from weather while staged; staff said they would work with auction organizers and notify the public about temporary closures.
