Knoxville Paving Dispute Led to Injunction Action
The Knoxville city paving clash echoes Pella troubles as Judge Lorin N. Hays granted a temporary injunction blocking resurfacing of about 26 000 square yards costing around 69000 dollars. Property owners allege illegal council action, secrecy, and misapplied bids amid a contentious bid process and potential lawsuits. The council awarded the Bryant Asphalt Paving Co. a contract after excluding east and west Main street blocks, with hearings set for August 2 and legal counsel defending the property owners.
