City Council to vote on paving project
Washington City Council is expected to approve the 2024 road paving contract when it meets Thursday.
Roads tentatively scheduled for paving are East Chestnut Street from Main Street to College Street; McCarrell Avenue from Chestnut to Addison Street; Allison Avenue from Henderson Avenue to Maple Avenue, and Grove Avenue from Broad Street to Ewing Street. These are subject to change, depending on the cost.
Council also is expected to vote on an ordinance to refinance the city’s pension bond debt. A first reading of the ordinance was held when council met July 9.
The move is expected to spread the debt over three years, providing debt service relief and freeing up about an additional $425,000 a year for the next two years.
