Commissioners approve tree cutting and removal bid

Freestone County Commissioners accepted a bid on tree cutting and removal from four bids received.

The commissioners took this step at their May 8 meeting, when they also authorized the county treasurer to request capital credits.

As for the bid for tree cutting and removal, that bid was awarded to Kent Philips Trucking, but the commissioners noted that if that company is not available to do a job, the county may call a different company.
