The Huron City Commission listened to Theresa Township residents concerns about the condition of a road that has some city ownership. The residents in the six homes along 27th Street Northwest expressed their concerns about maintenance of the road. Madison attorney Jay Leibel is representing the township. He says the road was built with money from a federal grant for expansion of the Huron Regional Airport over 20 years ago in 1993…
The road was significantly maintained once, with the costs and operations being split between the city, Beadle County and the township. The road is needing crack sealing that is estimated at 18-thousand dollars. During previous discussions on the road, Beadle County officials have expressed little or no interest in helping with costs to maintain 27th Street Northwest. Commissioner Doug Kludt says if all parties were involved it would not be that big of an issue…
Mayor Paul Alyward says the city is willing to do it’s fair share on the road. Residents on the road are considering presenting the creation of a Road District to the Huron City Commission. The District would help pay for repairs to the road without taxing other residents of Theresa Township. The roughly 40 minutes spent discussing 27th Street Northwest was for informational purposes and the Huron City Commission took no action on items discussed.
