Holts Summit Board approves bid for recycling area

Despite bids coming in $14,000 more than expected, the Holts Summit Board of Aldermen on Monday authorized a bid to begin work on a recycling drop-off area at the Greenway Park Civic Center.

The board believes some of the additional cost will be recovered in other parts of the project, such as in the purchase of less expensive bins to collect recycling. There also are funds available in the city's budget to make up for some of the remaining extra expenditure.
