City lists roads to be paved, but is there to $$ to pay for all of them?
It will take more than fuzzy math to make these figures add up.
Gaffney City Council this week unveiled an ambitious list of road paving projects that will cost nearly $700,000. That's more than four times the C-Funds the city has been allocated to pay for the projects.
Council members agreed to delay discussion about the proposed road paving list until county council, which divvies up the C-Fund revenue, opens bids for the road paving project. That's expected to happen Monday.
Councilman Dennis Ramsey had six road paving requests totaling nearly $300,000. His paving list centered on the Canterbury subdivision with Chaucer, Saxon and Camelot drives and Brittany Road.
Councilman Boone Peeler had the most frugal road paving list, totaling $33,586.
