Bland County:
“Bland County celebrated the first day of spring last week
by breaking ground on its wastewater project, which leaders hope will help spur
economic development in the county… The county has received grants and
low-interest loans to pay for the nearly $8 million project. Phase I is about
three-fourths of the entire project. It includes three pump stations and the
extension of several thousands of feet of line from Bland to the treatment
plant in Bastian.
A gravity line pump station will be built on the lower end
of the fairgrounds, near the site of Thursday’s groundbreaking. Two other pump
stations will be built on Brushy Mountain. The project will serve roughly 200
customers, including Bland elementary and high schools, ABB and Pascor, and the
Exit 52 area of Interstate 77.”
