Claiborne County allocates $213,315 in ARPA funds to extend Barker Road waterline
Summary
The commission authorized payment of $213,315.04 from district-level ARPA allocations to install and extend a waterline on Barker Road in District Two; the vote was unanimous.
The Claiborne County Commission voted unanimously on May 16 to authorize the county finance director to pay $213,315.04 to install and extend a waterline on Barker Road in District Two using American Rescue Plan Act funds allocated to commissioners by district.
Commissioner Nathan Epperson moved the resolution and Commissioner Brent Clark seconded. The resolution notes Claiborne County received $6.2 million in ARPA funds and that district allocations are approximately $213,315.04 each; the commission directed the finance director to expend District Two's remaining allocation on the Barker Road waterline until the funds are exhausted.
The resolution was framed as part of the commission's previously adopted approach to use district ARPA allocations for water, sewer and broadband projects. Officials recorded the approval without recorded opposition.
A town-hall or further public-engagement steps tied to this specific waterline were not detailed in the meeting minutes.
