The Mower County Board of Commissioners approved a letting date of Feb. 24 for six paving projects within the county.
However, Public Works Director Mike Hanson said that one of the projects on County Road 2 from County Road 8 to State Highway 63 may not happen because of rising costs.
In particular, Hanson said he was watching rising gas and asphalt prices and cautioned that it might be best to wait on that project.
“I think we need to be careful so we can reserve state aid money sufficient for our federal project on County Road 6 this year,” Hanson said.
