CHARLESTON -- There is some satisfaction in accomplishing goals.
During the Mississippi County Commission's April 23 meeting, Carlin Bennett, presiding commissioner, listed eight priority projects for the county road and bridge department selected, he said, for how fast the county could complete them and to address some of the major drainage issues which manifested during heavy rains combined with melted snow.
Bennett indicated during the Commission's regular meeting Thursday that the last two of those "big projects the county was focused on" would be completed by the end of today's work day.
"We are done with all of them except the ditch dig-out on (County Road) 420 and the ditch dig-out on (County Road) 408," he said Thursday. "We just completed (County Road) 423 yesterday, which was cutting a county road and putting a pipe under it."
The last two excavations on those two road ditches were scheduled for work Thursday and today, he said.
