Hocking County approves road, resurfacing and communications right‑of‑way projects
Summary
The board approved multiple road resurfacing contracts, a road repair agreement, and several underground construction/right‑of‑way applications for fiber and telecom work; the engineer had signed off on the plans.
Hocking County commissioners voted April 16 to approve several infrastructure and right‑of‑way items, including road resurfacing contracts and telecommunications construction applications.
The board approved prior bid awards for resurfacing projects covering Bridal Run and Fairview Roads (project 3), James and Anthony Drive (project 4) and other county roads identified in the business packet. Commissioners also approved a road repair agreement between the county engineer and Spectrum for work on Fork Road.
In separate approvals, the board signed off on multiple applications for underground construction and right‑of‑way work submitted by Spectrum, Frontier Communications, Sunrise Telecom and Charter Communications for locations including Honeyfork, Goat Run, Moore Road, Long Run Road and Perry Township. The county engineer had reviewed and signed off on the submitted maps and plans.
A commissioner noted that these approvals require signatures by all three commissioners; the motions were made, seconded and called with verbal 'aye' votes. The transcript does not include detailed roll‑call tallies for each vote.
Also on the agenda: contract awards and routine infrastructure items associated with ongoing county maintenance and federal/state project timelines. The board noted the State Route 664 roundabout construction will begin April 20 with temporary signals and an expected completion of October 1; a short slope stabilization closure on State Route 374 is scheduled the same week.
