The Greenville City Council passed resolution 2022-34 to mill and resurface several streets at
the July 11 regular scheduled meeting.

The bids were reviewed by the Public Works Director, who awarded the contract to Midsouth

Greenville Mayor Dexter McLendon said he was happy to have this latest resolution pass the
council. He appeared enthusiastic about getting these repairs underway and finished on time.
