Village Board talks street, sidewalk repairs
December 13, 2011
Petersburg’s Main Street replacement of streets and sidewalks project was addressed at the December Village Board meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2011. It appears that TIF funds could be used for this since it would be considered infrastructure.
Clerk Stokes has attempted several times to contact TIF lawyer Michael Bacon for clarification, but hasn’t received a response.
The board probably could use the 2010 funds which will begin coming in this May. There are questions if the funds from several buildings could be directed toward the same project.
Trustee Thorburg said the village will need to know how much to bond if they do so.
Consensus of the board was that they would like to wait until after the Q125 celebration.

NPPD halts construction on transmission line for pipeline
November 29, 2011
After more than two years of development work, Nebraska Public Power District has halted work on all three of its transmission lines that were associated with the TransCanada Keystone XL oil pipeline.
One of those transmission lines had been planned from Petersburg to Ericson. However, the project was canceled after a Nov. 14 announcement by TransCanada that it will seek a different route for the pipeline outside the Nebraska Sandhills.
The only continuing work on the transmission line route this week was leveling and overseeding of sites that NPPD had already purchased for substations on the line.
