Judge Tribble says the contract is for nearly $290,000 that includes Harmony Grove Road and Lewis Road, a total of over eight miles. He adds the Flex Funds will need to be approved by state transportation officials.

Judge Tribble tells the News Edge there is no assurance they will get the funding, but he is hopeful. He says the first two priorities include Pleasantview Acres Drive and Northridge Yacht Drive.
