The Sullivan County Commission is set to meet Monday to discuss and possibly vote on funding in relation to constructing a new road to the county’s new high school.
The resolution to hire an engineering firm to design the new road has twice been deferred from a full communion vote. An earlier version of the proposal sought $300,000 for the engineering firm’s work. Highway Commissioner Jim Belgeri has estimated $3 million cost of the actual road construction could come out of his department’s $5.6 million surplus.
Supporters of the proposal say people are wasting time not approving it; however, those against it are pointing blame at the school system and the architectural firm for not including plans for a better access road from the beginning of the new school’s construction.
The Sullivan County Commission is set to meet Monday at 9 a.m. on the second floor of the historic Sullivan County Courthouse. Public comment is allowed prior to start of the voting agenda.
