In a recent City Council meeting, the Gunter City Council took a significant step towards addressing local infrastructure concerns by approving a bid for the Foxman Trace storm sewer project. The council awarded the contract to Wopack Construction, which was the lowest bidder among three proposals received. This project involves the replacement of approximately four to six panels of the storm sewer system, which has been causing issues for residents by slowly eroding their yards.

The decision to move forward with this project comes after more than a year of waiting, highlighting the urgency of the repairs needed. Council members expressed optimism that the work would be completed before the rainy season begins, alleviating further damage to the affected properties. The project is expected to be minimally invasive, as it is located on a cul-de-sac, making it easier to manage the construction process without significant disruption to the neighborhood.

In addition to the storm sewer project, the council discussed ongoing landscaping efforts by Pace Construction, which has been working with the city on various projects. This marks the first time Pace Construction has been awarded a street project, indicating a growing partnership between the city and local contractors.

As the council continues to prioritize infrastructure improvements, residents can look forward to enhanced safety and stability in their neighborhoods. The swift action taken on the Foxman Trace project reflects the council's commitment to addressing community needs and ensuring the well-being of Gunter's residents.
