HUTTO — Hutto Economic Development Corp appointed City Engineer Matt Rector to represent the city in ensuring the Hutto Megasite’s east/west spine road is built according to city specifications.
“The spine road construction contracts require the HEDC to have a representative that can go out and check the site and ensure progress and then report back to y’all on whether or not the construction is being completed as per the terms of the contract,” Interim Economic Development Director Cheney Gamboa told the HEDC board at their November meeting.
Groundbreaking for the spine road is hoped to be before the Christmas holidays. The road, which does not yet have an official name, will be an important element for new businesses wanting to begin construction at the site. “We are going to need to name the road fairly soon because that groundbreaking is going to incentivize folks to start getting their permitting paperwork in, which means they have to plat, which means they have to have an address,” Gamboa said.
