Project costs were higher than estimated due to winter construction caused by delays in the wetland permitting process, wetter than normal climate, and a tight completion date. The assessment roll has been prepared consistent with the Feasibility Report. Of the total cost, the amount to be assessed is $762,062.46. The Public Utility Fund will contribute $50,000.00 for water main oversizing. Pooled TIF/EDA Funds will contribute $116,288.50 for platted Austin Street and $397,312.90 for water main.
