Carey took another step toward a new wastewater treatment plant Monday. Village council approved a motion of intent to award Peterson Construction a contract to rebuild the plant. The company offered a bid of a little more than $10 million for the contract.
Council could approve the contract as soon as April 15th. The village will pay for the project using a half-percent income tax set aside for sewer improvements. They are also waiting on approval for a low-interest loan from the Ohio Water Development Authority Water Pollution Control Fund.
Construction could start this summer. It would take about two years to finish.
