The Hamlet Town Council finalized a project to be submitted for grant funding from the state.
The board members voted to approve an alternate drainage plan on Starke Street from Plymouth Street to U.S. 30. Standing water on portions of that road breaks down the road surface and creates a traffic hazard. Plans include the installation of a simple drainage system to alleviate the issues and paving of that road. Sidewalks, curbs and gutters could be added in a different project.
In a special meeting Monday evening, the town council approved a grant match of $50,000 for the Community Crossings grant application. The paperwork is due by Friday, July 14.
