One of the agenda items on Thursday's agenda for the Churchill County Commission involves the bypass near the convention center and WNC.
The Churchill County Commission held its first meeting of November on Thursday and took action on the following agenda items:
Approved by the commissioners was the transfer of funds to the city of Fallon for the Convention Center Drive project. The road was constructed not only out of safety concerns but also for residents to have easier access to the local businesses in the area.
Traffic tests had been completed for designing the new road, and it was discovered that more than 700 vehicles used the shortcut daily for a through road.
According to city figures, the project for the new road began in August and has cost $768,000. The completion for the road is in approximately two weeks.
Other business discussed or approved included the following:
Approved entering into agreement with Green Zone Initiative and acceptance of Memorandum of Understanding.
