Dollar General project stalled by water concerns; council reviews street, park and equipment needs
Summary
Council reported that Dollar General is not moving forward with a Fairgrove site because of unresolved clean water issues; council also discussed partnering with Akron for a jetter, requested additional roof and park-bathroom bids, and heard a resident sidewalk request.
Economic development and local infrastructure were discussed at the May 4 meeting of the Fairgrove council.
Under old business the council recorded that Dollar General is currently not coming to Fairgrove because of unresolved clean water issues; council members said they are exploring additional solutions. The minutes do not specify which water systems or permit conditions are at issue.
Buildings and Grounds reported that Akron has a jetter and suggested the village consider partnering to share equipment rather than immediately purchasing new machinery. The buildings report also noted a need for additional roof bids before the council can vote, and that one bid for park bathrooms did not provide a cost; the council requested more bids.
During audience recognition, a resident identified as Streeter asked to remove four sections of sidewalk at 1923 S. Main and replace them with an asphalt driveway; the council said it would examine the request.
Minutes do not include detailed engineering assessments or timelines for resolving the Dollar General clean-water issue; those matters were logged for future follow-up.
