Mayor Miller reports two industrial build-ready sites, pipeline progress and sewer funding outreach
Summary
Mayor Dalton Miller told the council two large build-ready sites at the Roland Industrial Park have been completed, said contractors began the first line for the Rockcastle County Gas Pipeline, and said he is pursuing EPA funding with staff and Congressman Rogers' office to extend sewer to Cedar Creek.
Mayor Dalton Miller used his report to brief the council on local economic-development and infrastructure efforts.
Miller said two large build-ready sites at the Roland Industrial Park were completed this week, aiming to attract potential businesses. He also reported that "there was a gathering yesterday as the first line went in the ground on the Rockcastle County Gas Pipeline project. This is the first gas line ever in Rockcastle County," and described the pipeline as bringing potential investment to a nearby mega site.
On environmental protection and wastewater infrastructure, Miller said he is working with Water Department Manager Ryan Owens and Congressman Rogers' office to seek U.S. Environmental Protection Agency funds to run a sewer line to Cedar Creek, "to protect the downstream and the lake itself." The mayor framed the funding outreach as ongoing; the transcript does not record commitments of specific funds, schedules, or grant award amounts.
Earlier in the meeting Councilman Eddie Carter raised a resident's concern about water runoff on McKinney Court; Miller said he had contacted the resident and noted there was no easement allowing work on the parcel where the original drainage area was created. The council did not record further action or a formal referral on that specific drainage matter at this meeting.
