(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Andy Thies Wednesday. Thies talked about plans to construct a chicken production facility south of Humboldt.

Thies said that the transportation company that would service the facility would not be able to travel the road at the intersection of 634 Avenue and 707 Trail due to the grade of the hill, which is approximately a 6% grade. Thies said the road grade would need to be 4% or lower for the company to use the road.

Thies also requested that a STOP sign at the intersection be replaced with YIELD sign and maybe caution signs on each side of the road approaching the intersection.

Commissioners requested that Thies come back next week to review the matters further.

Richardson County had received an insurance check in an amount of $34,177 for damages to a motor grader on January 9.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported on training courses for dispatchers to be held over six different 8-hour sessions schedule to begin in May.

The Sheriff also noted that he and Commissioners Rick Karas had attended the HTRS School Board meeting on March 11 to discuss reinstating a school resource officer for the 2024-25 school year.
