The Grayson County government meeting on June 24, 2025, focused on the approval of a new motor grader to enhance road maintenance capabilities. The discussion highlighted the need to replace an older 1992 model currently in use at Gordonville.
Commissioner Hartenberg presented the proposal, noting that the new motor grader would replace one of the county's older models, which include vehicles from 1980, 1986, and 1990. The plan involves an $80,000 down payment, with the remaining balance of $225,701 to be financed through five annual payments of approximately $52,344. This financing plan follows the recent payoff of another piece of equipment, allowing the county to maintain its budgetary commitments while upgrading its fleet.
The motion to approve the purchase was seconded by Commissioner Wright and passed unanimously, indicating strong support among the commissioners for the investment in infrastructure. This decision is expected to improve the county's ability to manage and maintain its roads effectively.
