Grant County approves Central Specialties road‑use deal, requires $650,000 bond for Highway 49 work
Summary
Grant County Commissioners approved a road‑use agreement allowing Central Specialties to use 1.30 miles off Highway 49, contingent on a $650,000 bond for repair or reconstruction, and also granted a special‑use permit for a hot‑mix plant.
Grant County Commissioners unanimously approved a road‑use agreement on June 4 that allows Central Specialties to use 1.30 miles of county roadway off Highway 49, contingent on submission of a $650,000 bond to cover repair or reconstruction costs.
Commissioner Marty Meyer moved to approve the road‑use agreement; Commissioner Al Roy Hochhalter seconded. The board recorded a roll call vote of Meyer—aye; Hochhalter—aye; Chairman Alton Zenker—aye. The motion required the bond as a condition before work proceeds.
The board also approved a Special Use Permit allowing Central Specialties to operate a hot‑mix plant as proposed. The permit motion was made by Meyer and seconded by Hochhalter and carried unanimously.
Jason Albert met with the board representing Central Specialties during the discussion; the minutes record the contingency bond and the county condition as the principal protections for road repair costs. The minutes do not specify a timeline for bond submission or subsequent inspections; those details were not recorded and are listed as not specified in county minutes.
Next steps: The agreement is conditional on bond submission; the county will need to receive and verify the bond before authorizing use of the roadway.
