Needed county capital improvements


RANDOLPH, Utah. January 8, 2020.  Brian Carver, BRAG (Bear River Association of Governments) and the Community Impact Board, asked County Commissioners if there were any capital improvements that need funding by the Community Impact Board (CIB). 

The Commissioners responded that there are a lot of infrastructure needs such as roads, bridges, senior citizens building, and the county building.  Cisco road was just finished and some of it was funded by CIB monies.  The county needs a new ambulance and upgrades on courthouse. Replacing a road grader and loader and replacing cattle guards and drain pipes under roads are high priorities 

The Bear River Bridge on Crawford Mountain Road has had its rating lowered to 3 tons from 35 tons, and needs repairs. Engineers are working to see if they can repair or if a new bridge should be built.  It may cost $2 to 2 1/2 million to fix it.  The County will need a loan for that to start it right away.  That loans could be paid for by grants as they are applying for bridge improvement funds.  It is an emergency situation, said Commissioner Bill Cox.   Carver said that he would work on funding.
