“Due to concerns with budget timing the roadway construction within the summer break window, the full drainage improvements were delayed and temporary measures were bid with the project instead,” said Grabczyk.

After approving $989,915.50 to 53 Corporation, LLC on May 1, 2023, the council approved a $498,705 increase due to budget and schedule concerns, making the total $1,488,220.50.
