Posted

HURON — City officials will open bids in two weeks for a stretch of 24th Street Southeast to be built linking Idaho and Frank avenues in the Southtown Addition.
Bids will be opened at 2 p.m. Aug. 28.
Work will include grading, curb and gutter, water main, sewer main and storm sewer installation.
City commissioners set the date during a brief meeting on Monday.

The street work will be done on the south side of WheatGrass Village, which is now well under way.
When completed next spring, there will be a 69-unit apartment complex, two six-unit townhouses and garages.
The project is being built by Eagle Construction of Sioux Falls.
Commissioners also:
• Approved a $167,675 progress payment for Dahme Construction of Aberdeen for ongoing water main replacement work.
The company is just about finished with the contract. Left to be done is the replacement of a lift station near the hospital and water main replacement on Illinois Avenue Southwest between First and Third streets.
• Approved an electric utility easement with NorthWestern Corporation for a 20-foot-wide strip of land over and across a portion of Dakota Cold Storage Tract C in the area of the old pork plant.
• Reminded residents of the citywide cleanup Thursday through Saturday when there will be free access to the rubble site when they bring their water utility bill with them.
