It took commissioners only a few minutes Monday morning to approve two items awarding bids for the projects. The money will come from the county’s capital fund.
Northwest Georgia Paving will receive about $975,000 to widen U.S. Highway 41 and put in turn and deceleration lanes at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Carbondale Business Park Road, according to the agreement.
The company also will install water and sewer lines to certain parts of the property to complete Phase I of the project.
The paving company placed the lowest bid out of five companies, county engineer Kent Benson told commissioners.
