Council Wrap: Money approved for City Hall remodeling, flood-damaged bridge

Council approves $1.7 million for City Hall

City Council has approved $1.7 million to for City Hall renovations.

More than $1.1 million will be used to repurpose space to create more room for additional council members called for by the citys new 10-1 representation.

The rest will be used to remodel Council Chambers and the Executive Session Conference Room.

The new 10-1 city council will take office this December.

$1.1 million approved for flood-damaged bridge

A bridge that was knocked out by the Halloween floods should soon be repaired.

Floodwaters washed out supports for the bridge over Onion Creek on River Plantation Drive.

City leaders say detours are adding at least 45 seconds to emergency calls, but neighbors say the delays may be even longer.

Families south of the bridge say they have to make a five-mile detour through construction areas and use roads not designed to handle the extra traffic.
