(RICHFIELD) – Developers of the Mt. Catherine Subdivision in Richfield approached the Richfield City Council at Tuesday night’s meeting to request an extension of completion of the project. Project Manager Doug Crowther said the state required developers to reapply for Tax Credit funding which delayed completion of the project by spring or early summer this year. He said construction of the project was halted Dec. 17, 2009 because of the delay. Crowther told the council that the timing of improvements has to be done during winter months, including extending a box culvert at the subdivision located at 530 South in Richfield. Developers asked the city council to approve a bond in lieu of completion of the improvements to meet occupancy requirements. After discussion, the council approved a 180-extension of the permit and accepted a bond for improvements.
