From the meeting
Lucas County Engineer Todde Folkers said the county had applied for and been awarded two grants for replacing a railroad bridge. The project is funded at just under $6,000,000 and an additional $2,000,000 award. The bridge replacement is now a live capital project, with design, construction, and related procurement likely to follow.
Sellers tied to bridge delivery, materials, inspection, and project support should track the county's next steps.
