BRAVO!
However I'm confused.
"Council also signaled support for a contract to repair a collapsed 72-inch storm drain near the former IAC building on East Queen Street. The sinkhole, which emerged during Hurricane Debby in August 2024, requires replacing 230 feet of pipe across the property and sealing the intact portion under Queen Street."
A 72-inch pipe is a HUGE pipe. Who installed the pipe? When? Who inspected it? Did the hurricane cause it or was it shoddy work by the contractor who installed it?
If this huge pipe was not installed properly (including preparing the foundation for the pipe, pipe joints, sealing and back-filling it), then the town should be going after the contractor to pay for the repairs.
Taxpayers shouldn't be charged for a contractor's shoddy work.
