Syracuse Council Near Decision On Ind. 13 Plans
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Syracuse - Town council will wait a month or so to make a decision on the Ind. 13 road expansion project.
Council was prepared to vote on the issue Tuesday, but was advised to wait by town attorney Robert Reed.
Reed said he learned that the town could be liable for the federal share of the multi-million dollar project under certain conditions.
He urged the council to listen to a consultant before voting on the issue.
Council agreed to hear from the consultant Jan. 6 when it meets to consider a budget matter. The meeting will start at 5 p.m.
Council president Barb Carwile said the board was prepared Tuesday to give an "up or down" vote on the proposal that could expand the two-lane road through the heart of town to four or five lanes.
She said she was unsure how council would have voted. A preliminary vote earlier this year supported the project's concept by a 4-3 vote. [[In-content Ad]]
