The Jackson City Council’s approval of $2,302,656.60 for street resurfacing highlighted its monthly meeting, which was streamed live, Tuesday.
“We received two bids” said Susan White, Director of Purchasing, City of Jackson, “One was from Ford (Construction Company, Jackson) and one was from Delta (Contracting Company, Humboldt) and the lowest and best price is from Ford.”
