Loretto council sets 2027 timeline for $2.7 million street and water reconstruction project
Summary
The Loretto City Council agreed June 9 to pursue 2027 construction for the Loretto/Church/Railway Street East reconstruction and the Ponds Street project after Clerk Treasurer Mary Schneider reported a $2.7 million bonding award for water infrastructure; staff were directed to update feasibility work.
Mary Schneider, the Loretto City Clerk Treasurer, told the council that the city was awarded $2.7 million in statewide bonding funds for water infrastructure projects, including the Loretto/Church/Railway Street East reconstruction project. The announcement came during the council’s June 9 meeting at City Hall.
After Schneider’s briefing, council members reached consensus to schedule both the Ponds Street Improvement Project and the Loretto/Church/Railway Street East project for construction in 2027. The council directed Schneider to request a scope-of-work update from the city’s engineering firm to refresh the feasibility report ahead of design and bidding.
Council members did not take a formal roll-call vote to approve the construction year; the minutes record a council consensus to pursue the 2027 timeline and a directive to staff to move forward with engineering updates. The action follows this year’s legislative session award and positions the city to begin project planning and procurement next year.
The council’s direction leaves financing and final design subject to the updated feasibility analysis and future council action. City staff indicated they will return with the updated scope and schedule once the engineering firm provides the feasibility update.
