Brussard Council Authorizes Application for Grant to Replace Flooding Bridge on North Cruz Avenue
The council authorized the city to apply for a Delta Regional Authority grant of up to $500,000 for a project to replace the bridge on North Cruz Avenue. This bridge frequently floods, impacting businesses in the adjacent industrial park, including Loadmaster, Safe Source, the Nitro plant, Sell Electric, and Aquaers. The estimated cost for raising the bridge, apron, and road is approximately $1 million. The grant application signifies the city's intent to potentially fund the remainder of the project.

Brussard Council Approves Preliminary Steps for $4.96M Sewer Improvement Project with DEEQ Loan
The council granted preliminary approval for taxable public improvement sales tax revenue bonds for a sewer improvement project, funded by a low-interest loan (0.95%) from DEEQ. The total loan amount is $4,963,000. The project involves gravity sewer extensions and lift stations in several areas, including Ambassador Caffrey, Salonoord Road, and Sable Palms. Some areas cannot be served due to floodway restrictions. The project is expected to encourage development and was partly enabled by an upgrade to a developer's lift station. The bond commission approval is expected August 20th, with closing in mid-to-late September. [cite: 282-450]
