Kinsman sewer project to proceed in August

WARREN — Construction could begin as early as August on an $800,000 project to provide a sewer line and sewage processing facility to an industrial area near the former Kraft Foods plant in Kinsman Township.

Trumbull County commissioners today approved a measure allowing the county’s planning commission to advertise for bids for the project.

Alan Knapp, planning commission director, said bids will be opened July 5, which would allow for the start of construction in August. The project would take about six months to complete.

It will involve construction of a 25,000-gallon-per-day plant to process waste coming from the former Kraft plant, now owned by Smearcase LLC of Andover; a nearby industrial park owned by Smearcase; and the company Vinyl Color & Grain. The three businesses are on Burnett East Road.
