County Commissioners Approve Fencing In WEMA Property

Wabash County Commissioners have voted to spend $11,000 with an Evansville company to construct a fence around the WEMA property on Market Street. At their most recent meeting, commissioners Tim Hocking and Scott West approved the estimate from Mr. Fence to put up a four foot high chain link fence along 150 feet of the back property line, 125 feet along the alley, and 75 feet along the angled portion of the property. Since the cost of the project was less than $30,000, commissioners weren’t required to seek formal bids on the fence which will be paid out of ARPA funds the county currently has.
