Project to begin to correct flooding issues Princeton
Five bids were received for phase one engineering and design of Stafford Drive flood relief in Princeton. City Manager Ellie Doom aims to open bids in July with a $250000 grant from the Hugh I Shott Jr Foundation and seeks another $250000 in matching funds. Local officials and U S Rep Nick Rahall will push federal aid, as high water repeatedly disrupts Stafford Drive and nearby Mercer County Senior Center operations. A January SUV near Athens Crossroads narrowly avoided tragedy with a woman and child rescued from rising floodwaters.
