ROad Improvement Project at Magnolia Cemetery
The focus of this project is to improve the roads throughout Magnolia Cemetery. Our best estimate in repairing/resurfacing roads throughout the cemetery is $465,883 (Falcon Contracting). Phase I has recently been completed.
The project will be broken into two or three phases as money is raised. Phase I cost $195,000 and has patched and leveled the roads inside the cemetery.
Magnolia Cemetery owner, Jay Crane, was able to secure authorization from state regulators to use $100,000 from the cemetery's perpetual care fund to use exclusively for road repairs/resurfacing. This, in combination with $95,000 of money that has been raised through this effort.
The next phase of road work would install the asphalt overlay at a cost of $266,000.
If you want to be reminded how the roads looked before, just look at the drone footage below.
