The Corbin City Commission voted unanimously to award the KYOVA Electric the bid for the Corbin Civic Center Lighting System Project.
KYOVA Electric’s bid was the only one the commission received for the project, but it came in less than anticipated, according to Corbin’s City Manager Marlon Sams.
The bid was for $60,985 while the estimate was for upwards of $70,000.
KYOVA Electric is the same company that put in the Rotary Park lights and will be putting in the football field lights for Corbin.
The lights at the Corbin Civic Center will light up the soccer fields.
“This is really important to do this because soccer, like he said… They are not able to extend their hours like they need to,” said Corbin Mayor Suzie Razmus. “[The field is] used very extensively by a lot of people. They need to have some lighting up there.”
CORBIN Get ready for spring with the Swing into Spring small business vendors event.
Two local business owners will be hosting the small business event that will take place at the Corbin Civic Center on Saturday, April 24 from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Paige Sams, owner of Monogramitt Boutique, and Brittany Chance, owner of Rae s Clips & More, were looking for ways to help other small shops grow their business and came up with the idea for the small business vendors event that they are calling Swing into Spring. I wanted to host this event because my business is still really small and I know a lot of people have been wanting to do something but not a lot have actually been doing events like this and I love to help people grow their small business, she said.
