The estimated assessments as mailed to the affected property owners and shown on the Assessment Report remain unchanged. The plans and specifications are complete, and all of the necessary construction and permanent easements have been acquired. The delay in moving forward with this project was due to the lengthy negotiations with property owners in granting the construction and permanent easements that are necessary to successfully complete the project.
