The Midway City Council approved Mayor Grayson Vandegrift's request to spend more money on streets by approving a budget amendment at a special meeting this evening.
As discussed on first reading by the council Monday night, the change adds $75,000 to the street budget, to cover up to $200,000 worth of paving and other work. The money will come from unanticipated revenue, unused snow-removal money, and the budget for building a pavilion in the cemetery, which was delayed by rainy weather.
Vandegrift wants to add curb installations and storm sewer repair on Stephens Street, paving of Starks Alley and curb repairs on North Winter Street. Engineer Joseph Mosley told the Messenger that a larger project would more attractive to contractors, perhaps resulting in more competitive bids.
