(KLZA)-- Pawnee City Council members met with representatives of USDA – Rural Development, AMERITAS and JEO Consulting during their October 24th meeting to discuss a large paving project for city streets. 

In November, 2016, Pawnee City voters approved an additional half-cent sales tax to help pay for needed street repairs. 

What needs to be determined now, is how large a project the City can afford to move forward with.  Proposals have ranged from 21, to 35 up to as many as 51 blocks of work.  

Each street has a different price tag based on the number of driveways, curbs, and drains are in a block.

The next step, is scheduling a town-hall meeting when representatives of the financing groups and the engineers can all attend.
