Five Year Expansion Plan For City Light Plant Drawn
City leaders drill into a $1 200 000 expansion of the South Connor avenue light plant. The plan aims to raise capacity while delaying PE equipment and gear purchases. Officials debate financing over five to five and a half years and weigh tax impacts and pay-as-you-go options.
