County staff identify preferred route in Smokehouse sewer study, will seek developer contribution
Summary
County staff reported that consultants narrowed sewer-alignment options and recommended one preferred route; staff will contact Freedom Plans Ranch about a potential contribution and pursue grant funding to complete the project.
County staff told the Morrow County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 18 that consultants completing a smokehouse-area sewer study have identified a preferred route and recommended staff pursue next steps with local landowners and potential funders.
Molly, a county staff member, summarized the study results and said the consultants narrowed the route options and "confirmed the 1 route" — a route described in the discussion as running "from 15 down to 26" — which staff believe is the most likely option to advance. Molly said the next step is to contact Freedom Plans Ranch to discuss that property's contribution toward the project; officials said knowing that contribution will help the county pursue grant funding that requires a local match.
Molly also flagged scheduling constraints tied to election-cycle work and thanked Edgerton's Construction for agreeing to a timeline that would aim to complete construction in mid-June if the project proceeds.
What happens next Staff said they will reach out to Freedom Plans Ranch to discuss participation and then use that commitment to pursue grant funding. No formal vote or appropriation to start construction was recorded during the meeting; the board approved only the administrative consent items and the separate $42,165 capital appropriation for the Community Service Building.
