WASHINGTONVILLE–With nearly half the funding in place for the estimated $1.2 million water tower project, village council’s next step is choosing an engineering consultant to design the structure.
That’s the most immediate task that needs completed, according to Joseph Lawrie, senior rural development specialist with the Rural Community Assistance Program (RCAP), who outlined the proposed project schedule for council members Monday.
Fiscal Officer Dale Davis said he already has one Statement of Qualifications from Engineering Associates of Wooster, the firm that prepared the preliminary cost estimate for replacing the water tower.
He plans to try to contact Howells & Baird of Salem today for its Statement of Qualifications so village council can make a choice at the Jan. 18 meeting, set for 6:30 p.m. at village hall.

Plans for two Greenwood subdivisions move forward
Plans for two new subdivisions will move forward despite some public opposition.
The Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission on Monday approved one subdivision’s primary plat and the rezoning of another, potentially adding 500 homes to the south side of the city, but it’s not a done deal yet.
The larger of the two subdivisions, built by Miami, Florida-based Lennar Homes, is 248 homes on 106 acres at Emerson Avenue, south of Pushville Road and west of Interstate 65. Dubbed Elmwood Estates, the subdivision would connect to the developer’s South Lake neighborhood and include more than two houses an acre, according to city documents. The neighborhood would be part of Clark-Pleasant Community Schools, likely adding hundreds of students over the next several years to the rapidly growing district.
