JASPER, Tenn. – Funding for a proposed sewer line extension in Marion County that would service an industrial site along Valley View Highway has come up short.
At the Marion County Commission’s March meeting, County Mayor David Jackson said county leaders have been working on the project to get sewer to the industrial park for more than four years.
Bids for the project were opened on Feb. 28, and the low bid was $325,350.
Marion County Mayor David Jackson discusses the proposed sewer line at the board’s March meeting.“With all the people that’s put money in, we’re still about $83,000 short,” Jackson said.
The board’s finance committee met recently on the matter and recommended tabling it so officials could look for more funding.
