The Knox City Council held their second public hearing for the Master Utility Plan during their meeting earlier this month.
The City of Knox applied through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for a $90,000 planning grant from the State Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Planning program this past August. In a previous meeting, it had been announced the city had been awarded this planning grant that would go toward evaluating the city’s entire water utilities. This includes drinking water, wastewater and storm water. It was also announced the Master Utility Plan itself cost $100,000 with $10,000 provided as a local match which was a requirement by OCRA.
Mayor Dennis Estok opened the public hearing for comment with no comment made. The second and final public hearing was closed. The council made a motion to approve the Knox Master Utility Plan. That motion was seconded and passed unanimously by vote.
Mayor Estok went on to say if anyone would like to see the Master Utility Plan, it is available to view at Knox City Hall.
