Demorest’s $45,092 street-repair plan still lacks a recorded council approval

Demorest’s proposal to spend $45,092.61 in state street-maintenance money on portions of Rhode Island Street, Blue Ridge Avenue and Walnut Avenue remains unapproved in the public action documented from the city’s June 12, 2025 workshop. Staff presented the recommendation as an award from the state Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant program with no required local match, but the workshop minutes say the mayor and council still needed to vote before the work could proceed.
