He also pointed out that the lowest current quote was Crawford Grading, but a final decision on a company would not be made until the quote from Aultman Grading's was received.

One company quoted approximately $50,000 for electrical services, but the contractor could not provide an accurate cost because construction drawings were unavailable. Mr. Perkins mentioned that the City of Thomaston has a food truck park and would research their model. He then expressed concerns about a food truck park, including personnel, bathroom facilities, site plan renderings, and power sources. The DDA had $165,000 in available funds that could go towards completing the project.
