On May 5th, several members of our association attended a meeting with Clay County Utility Authority. The meeting was devoted to economic development in Clay County and how the Clay County Utility Authority can best facilitate and support economic expansion. In attendance were contractors, developers and engineers. There was some discussion regarding changing some of their materials requirements to align more closely with other local utilities. We will keep you posted about changes and new information as it becomes available.
The following week, a meeting was held with JTA regarding their bid process. We met with Jackie Glass, Teresa Lind, and Nail Nance. We are working with them to make the bid process less onerous, budgets more realistic, and appropriate timetable between when bids are announced and when they are due. We will work with JTA to resolve some of these issues and then schedule a meeting with contractors and other interested parties to discuss the changes and also talk about some upcoming projects.
