Public Works Committee - July 8, 2026

The Hardin County Government Public Works Committee met on July 8, 2026, to discuss various infrastructure and safety projects. Key procurement-related topics included a $1.5 million planned expansion of the landfill gas system, involving new wells and equipment upgrades to increase engine capacity from three to potentially five. The committee also reviewed a state grant application for Middle Creek Road improvements, with a total project cost of approximately $280,000 and a $100,000 state match. Additionally, the committee discussed potential installation of rumble strips and other traffic calming measures on Kohl'sburg Road to address speeding concerns, though no final procurement decisions were made. Text amendments to the zoning ordinance were also proposed to align with recent court rulings and state law, affecting notification procedures for zone changes and conditional use permits. No contract awards or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but several action items related to capital improvements and grant funding were advanced.
