The Board of County Commissioners is reviewing a proposal to accept a drainage easement for a portion of an existing drainage ditch that is part of the Blackwater Creek drainage system, specifically the Byrd parcel. This item is currently under review and is pending a decision, with no fiscal impact to the county. The action involves formally accepting an easement, which would allow for the maintenance and operation of the existing drainage infrastructure. This project would set in motion work related to the upkeep and potential improvement of the drainage ditch, including site clearing, grading, and any necessary repairs to the drainage system. Contractors and suppliers specializing in drainage, earthwork, and utility work could find opportunities related to this easement. Local firms involved in civil engineering, land surveying, and environmental services may also see potential work. Reaching out to the county early, before any site plans or permits are finalized, is the best way to position your business for these opportunities.
