MidCoast Council
MidCoast Council has begun working on preliminary plans for a major upgrade to the Hawks Nest Sewage Treatment Plant, appointing a consultant to complete a concept design for the project in March.
The concept design will establish the civil, electrical and mechanical requirements of the project and is expected to take around six months.
Council’s Director of Infrastructure and Engineering Services, Rob Scott, said the project had been planned for a number of years and it was now time to move forward with it.
“In its current capacity, the Hawks Nest Sewage Treatment Plant is working hard to process the volume of sewage coming into the plant, especially during peak holiday periods,” he said.

Two years ago, candidate Joe Biden began his election campaign in Pittsburgh with a promise to rebuild the backbone of the United States. Last week he returned to Steel City as the United States President, bearing a simple message about who will foot the bill.
Big corporations.
“Wall Street didn’t build this country. You, the great middle class, built this country,” said Biden.
Biden said the bulk of his proposed $2.25 trillion American Jobs Plan would be funded by partially rolling back the 2017 corporate tax cut under former President Donald Trump that slashed the rate from 35 percent to 21 percent.
Biden wants to hike the corporate tax rate back up to 28 percent – and overhaul other parts of the tax code to reduce incentives for big companies to shift production, jobs and profits overseas.

The Sonic share price is only up 11.5% from where it was on 14 March 2020, yet the company is reporting much higher levels of revenue and profit because of COVID-19 testing. It’s possible that COVID-19 testing could go on for years.
