Columbia/Adair County EDA meeting 21 Mar 2017 report
Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener The Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority met Tuesday, March 21, 2016 with Chairman Mark Dykes presiding, and with a surprise visit by Adair County Judge Executive Mike Stephens, in one of his earliest public appearances since undergoing surgery on January 26, 2017. CACEDA being notified of compliance breach Ann Melton, media representative for The Adair Progress notified the board to expect a public notice (received to be run in the upcoming issue of the paper) from the State of Kentucky that the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority is currently, ineligible for any state or federal grants because the authority did not file required forms with the Department of Local Government, which were to have been filed no later than October 31, 2017. Mr. Dykes said that, to his knowledge, the EDA had not been notified of action, but would take immediate steps to correct the oversight. Board goes into executive session to discuss land sales The Board went into executive session to discuss the possibility of selling land in Green River Commerce Park to two prospective buyers. No details of who the buyers might be or how much land would be involved were given. When the authority came out of executive session, Chairman Dykes announced that no action was being taken at this time. EDA votes to contribute approximately $2,500-$3,000 more for sewer project Chair Dykes told the board that the sewer project in Green River Commerce Park is essentially complete, but an issue had been raised about three crossings on Industrial Drive. He said that three crossings, one for a 12" line, the other two for 4" lines, were included as deep trench crossings in the contract, but that directional bores, the preferred method, would be added costs. He said that two or three local companies have estimated the cost at $10-12,000, but that amount would have to be paid by the four entities financing the project, laying out $2,500-$3,000 more each. He said that Robin Wilkerson had agreed to pay the ATS share. With the CACEDA approval, given at the meeting, the action would need only City of Columbia approval and approval of the Adair Fiscal Court to become a reality.
