Latson Interchange Project to Borrow Materials From Vacant LandLatson Interchange Project to Borrow Materials From Vacant Land

4/16/13- Genoa Township will allow the contractor for the Latson Road Interchange Project to excavate materials off-site. The township’s Board of Trustees approved a Land Borrow Agreement that will expedite the interchange project. K & R excavating will extract necessary materials from a vacant lot near Latson Road. Genoa Township Supervisor Gary McCririe says K & R will be taking the materials from a ridge on the vacant land. The site plan shows sand being taken from about an eight acre area of land, which will be restored as a flat area upon the project’s completion. The excavation will take place over about a three month period of time. Water trucks will be on site to help control dust in the area during this time. The extracted materials will not only aid the Interchange Project, but will also help with widening and paving Nixon Road, which will eventually become South Latson Road. (SO)
