Commissioners OK deal with city over utilities
The construction of housing to lodge workers who will build the Century Plant took another step toward fruition Monday morning when the Pecos County Commissioners Court approved an agreement between the county and City of Fort Stockton.
The accord will allow the city to run its utilities the length of Bluebird Lane in Mesa View and will transfer the county's easements and dedicated right-of-ways for city utilities.
The projected is expected to cost about $300,000, according to information presented at a recent Fort Stockton City Council meeting. The City Council is hoping to allocate about $80,000 for pipes.
SandRidge Energy Inc. is expected to provide the labor to install the infrastructure, according to Fort Stockton Economic Development Corporation director Doug May.
