The commission authorized developer-assisted condemnation for a sewer easement to serve Krause Automotive Group, approved a sanitary-sewer waiver for Trammel Crow with capacity limits, renewed city insurance, and authorized multiple project payments including $1.336 million to Charles Black Construction for Buford City Stadium.
The Buford City Commission at its March 3 meeting approved a package of operational actions that included a developer-assisted condemnation to acquire sewer easements, a waiver for private sewer service, renewal of the city’s liability and property insurance, and several contractor payments.
Vice-Chairman Chris Burge moved and Commissioner D Bradley W.
