âWe had a very good outcome in terms of a number of bidders for this project,â Mayor Tim Rogers said.
âWe bid out this project over a year ago, and we felt the numbers came in too high,â Rogers said. âWe basically took the design and massaged it. We basically made more of a green building . and I think weâre going to end up saving taxpayers a significant amount of money.â
