ST. CLAIRSVILLE The Belmont County Board of Commissioners accepted and awarded bids for county projects Wednesday, adding to the Senior Services vehicle fleet and taking the first steps toward a slide repair on Blaine-Barton Road.
Commissioner J.P. Dutton also commented on the recent death of former Belmont village mayor Stan Sobel, who served a four-year term and did not seek re-election last fall. Commissioners and guests noted his dedication to the village, and Dutton mentioned the positive impact Sobel had on young people during his long teaching career at Union Local High School.
The commissioners awarded a bid to Thomas Garage Inc. for two all-wheel-drive, four-door sedans for $60,930, two four-wheel-drive hotshot vehicles with meal delivery package for $97,982, and one four-wheel-drive SUV for $28,477.
