Summary
The Robersonville Town Council voted unanimously to approve a Phase One road resurfacing contract using an $850,000 grant; the contract uses The Wooten Company/Weaver's Asphalt and council signaled a focus on stretching funds to repair multiple roads.
The Robersonville Town Council voted 5-0 on Tuesday to approve a construction contract for Phase One of a street resurfacing project funded by an $850,000 grant.
Town Manager Jonathan Russell told the council the goal is to stretch the grant as far as possible to repair multiple roads.
