Commissioners Julie Thomas and Jody Madeira approved the grant agreement. Commissioner Lee Jones was absent.
“Our county council has budgeted for that, for 2025, so we thoroughly appreciate the assistance in being able to do this program,” said Lisa Ridge, director of the Monroe County Highway Department.
Bids for the pavement project opened Thursday afternoon.
