Toccoa approves moving foward on Toccoa Creek Wastewater Project

At Tuesday’s Toccoa City Commission meeting, commissioners unanimously approved moving forward with the Toccoa Creek Water Pollution Control Plant project, utilizing a new-to-Toccoa construction delivery system, termed a Construction Manager At Risk, or CMAR system, as opposed to the traditional design-bid-build construction project delivery system. With the vote to approve moving forward, commissioners also approved the selection of Reeves Young as the Construction Manager at Risk. WNEG News will be providing in-depth coverage of both the Toccoa Creek project and associated projects within the city’s wastewater department, and a detailed review of the CMAR system on wnegradio.com and as time allows on news broadcasts.

Also on Tuesday, Toccoa Commissioners heard the results of a requested audit of the Toccoa/Stephens County Humane Shelter. Next week, WNEG News will be airing in-depth reports on the audit results, as well as an in-depth look at conditions, practices and programs at the SC Humane Shelter.
