Alexandria City Council considers two projects totaling more than $10 million

Two huge projects totaling more than $10 million came before the Alexandria City Council Monday night.

Although there were concerns about cost, both projects inched ahead.

They include a waterline extention into the "phase 4" annexation area of Alexandria Township; and possible improvements to 50th Avenue.

See Wednesday's Echo Press for details about both projects.
