April 5. The Town of Cornelius has awarded an $83,031 contract to the Oliver Paving Co. for a sidewalk on the north side of Sam Furr Road from the Sterling Point subdivision to Blythe Landing Park. Oliver Paving was the lowest of three bidders for the job. The walkway will be similar in design and width to those recently added along West Catawba Avenue between Westmoreland Road and Sam Furr Road. Building the sidewalk will continue the town’s program of adding walkways along major roadways. Work is expected to begin immediately on the project, with completion by June 30.
