(KMZA)--The Marshall County Commission is moving forward with the construction of a new public works shop in Frankfort.

At their December 31 meeting, the Commission accepted the low bid submitted by H & R Construction, of Axtell, for the construction of a 48 by 80-foot building at a cost of $142,727.

Eight bids were received for the project, which were opened at the Commission’s December 24 meeting.

Public works administrator Mike Craig previously informed the Commission that the current public works shop in Frankfort is old and outdated.

The county built a public works shop in Waterville in 2015 for $127,000.
