Mayor and Council approved a bid for a stormwater project which will eventually add more than $50 million to the city’s tax digest, Monday.
The Dickerson Group Inc. was the low bidder at $125,100 for drainage improvements at South Crestview Drive near Summit Chase Drive to be paid from the city’s stormwater fees. The drainage project will serve the Gladstone Landing on Highway 78, an age-restricted housing development, and a proposed housing development that will include age-restricted rental townhomes and assisted living units
Under an agreement, the developer of the proposed project will pay a portion of the $125,100. Both Gladstone Landing and the proposed project will add millions to the city’s tax digest, city officials said.
