Palmyra City Council members discussed the bid for a proposed storm water project to stop flooding and erosion of the curb near the Marion County Courthouse. City officials will bring the bid specifications before members of the Marion County Commission, who have agreed to assist the city with the work. If the process moves ahead, the project would begin in the fall.

PALMYRA, Mo. â A partnership involving Marion County and the city of Palmyra could be forged to deal with a storm water and curbing issue in the communityâs downtown area.
Representatives of Palmyra, Mayor Loren Graham and City Superintendent Austen Dornberger, met with County Commissioners Larry Welch and Steve Begley during the Monday, Feb. 1, meeting of the commission at the courthouse in Palmyra. They discussed a storm water and curbing issue on the south and west side of the courthouse.
It was noted that the curbing on the south side of the courthouse has eroded away. In addition there is an issue with storm water that flows from the alley across the street. That storm water runoff floods the parking area on the south and west side of the courthouse.
