Greg Vahrenberg, with Raymond James & Associates, Inc. visited with the commissioners regarding the 2020A Bond Issue during the Tuesday, July 11 meeting. The bond was issued in June of 2020 for $3,300,000.00 for bridge repairs to the two Skiddy bridges, the Kelso bridge, and the Dunlap River bridge. Since the issue of the bond, Morris County has received cost-share grant funding for part of the Kelso bridge and the Dunlap River bridge for approximately $1,000,000. Discussion was held regarding plans for the unspent bond proceeds. The bonds cannot be redeemed until 2027. The county has several options for holding the unspent bond proceeds until they may be redeemed, or they may allocate additional bridge projects to be completed with the unspent bond proceeds. Further discussion will be held.
