'These are projects that need to be done regardless of who's paying for it,' Mayor Joe Grandy said. 'I mean, it's roads that are broken, roads that are washed out.'
Grandy said that since the projects are happening fast and the commission only meets once a month, it was better to approve it all at one time.
