Mount Pleasant officials say first phase of road work should not hit residents’ pockets; feeder upgrades tied to growth
Summary
Council discussion noted roads are the next major project, the first phase is planned to be paid from existing budget and a hoped-for grant so residents should not pay for that phase, and electric feeder resizing may be needed if growth occurs.
During the same meeting, speakers said roads are the next major town project and that the first phase of road construction would be paid from existing budget funds and a potential grant rather than from monthly rate increases.
Speaker 3 said the first phase of the road project would be funded out of the existing budget and that they were hoping for a grant but had not been awarded it; he added, “that shouldn't cost the residents anything for this first phase of road construction.” The group said they would re-evaluate and prioritize streets because planned work was cut in half from the original list.
Speaker 4 raised a separate infrastructure point, saying that depending on future growth the town may need to resize a couple of main feeder lines, presenting the feeder upgrades as contingent on growth rather than part of the immediate road package.
No ballots, motions or funding approvals for road work were recorded in the transcript excerpt; officials indicated work and grant applications will continue to be evaluated.
