The biggest news coming from the City Council is that it is that the stormwater project for downtown will become a reality without any loans or rate increases or special districts. The city would like to thank Chouteau County for sharing some of their ARPA money with the town. The cost of the project is over one million dollars. The new stormwater project will go from the Catholic Church to the highway. Although new streets are seldom paid for as a part of the project, it was argued that Big Sandy could not fix the problem without tearing up the entire downtown street. Therefore there will also be a new street. This project will be started next summer.
