Work on much-needed drainage improvements on Davis Mill Road will soon begin after Todd Fiscal Court approved a resolution during a special-called meeting Tuesday morning.
Judge-Executive Todd Mansfield says he’s been assured by the state that Todd County can proceed with drainage work at the bridge near Trenton on Davis Mill and already promised state funds will come in as reimbursement after July 1.
Total cost of that project is $19,518.
Flooding on February 28 washed out a section of Jones Road and Judge Mansfield says the state has agreed to pay half of the costs to make those repairs.
The Historic Todd County group unveiled a 50-year-old time capsule to the public Saturday evening.
A county native, who was an integral part of its burial, came full circle as he watched the capsule unpacking in the Todd County Fiscal Court meeting room.
James Groves was appointed by then Judge-Executive Charlie Power to head up the committee to plan the phases for the project. Groves told the News Edge the time capsule followed the sesquicentennial of the county.

A time capsule buried on the grounds of the Historic Todd County Courthouse on the Public Square was unearthed and opened Saturday and plans are being made to preserve some of 2021 and bury it for future generations.
Glen Slack is the president of Historic Todd County, Inc. and read a letter from the committee that buried the capsule for the county’s 150th anniversary half a century ago.
On hand for the capsule opening was James Groves, who led the committee that buried the capsule in 1971. He wore a necktie Saturday that he and other members wore then and one of the ties was among the items removed and inventoried during a ceremony that was streamed on Facebook Live.
