Logan Extension Includes Significant Sewer Work

Warsaw City Council took a preliminary step toward financing a major road project that would reduce congestion on Ind.15S. Logan Street extension, a half-mile stretch that would connect the street with Rozella Road and cost more than $2 million, could begin next year if no unexpected road blocks show up. The proposal is considered a state project and will depend greatly on federal funds.Eighty percent of engineering and construction costs will be paid with federal funds, and the city's share is expected to be $492,000. On Monday, city council took the first step toward seeking a general obligation bond for $1.5 million that includes enough money to extend sewer service to the southwest part of the city. Consultants who prepared the proposal said the $1.5 million figure was higher than needed and was targeted for cautionary reasons so that enough will be secured for the projects.
