City delays on First Street repair draw fines
Cedar Valley Asphalt Co faces a $150 daily penalty from Sept. 3 as First Street NW remains closed beyond the Sept. 2 completion date. City officials blame scheduling woes among four contractors on the $200,000 reconstruction project that shut First Street from L to Penn and Penn to Ellis. The company will continue the work and pay the fines until finished.
