Many of the roads around Jasper are in need of resurfacing, but officials have different ideas about how to do all the work.
At the September meeting of the Jasper Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Mayor Paul Evans said Phillips Avenue, Mimosa Street, Cash Road, Seventh Street and Danny Drive were at the top of the list for repaving.
He said the work would be done by the Marion County Highway Department for $110,184.
“We were looking to get another price to compare with, but I don’t have it yet,” Evans said. “We’re running out of time to get at least some of it done because they’ll be closing the asphalt plant when it turns cold.”
Alderman Paul West said the county highway department’s price historically has been hard to beat.
