Pavement repair work on Booneslick Road in High Hill was completed by NorthPoint Development during the week of October 19.

NorthPoint is a real estate development firm that is partnering with Amazon Web Services to develop the first phase of Project Green, one of two data centers that are being built near the I-70 and Highway 19 interchange in New Florence.

Plans for the Booneslick Road project were discussed during a High Hill Board of Aldermen meeting on Oct. 12. High Hill utilities director Lorie King said she talked with NorthPoint officials on how Booneslick Road needed improvements.

“They just told me the 19th was when they were starting,” she said. “I went to a meeting and I told them we can’t make it 2-3 years because that was the timeline we were told to replace it all.”

Several businesses are located on Booneslick Road, including Christy Minerals, High Hill Christian Church and the Jonesburg-High Hill Fire Protection District station. The work was done between Christy Minerals and the fire station.

Work began on Oct. 19 as there was one-way traffic through town with flaggers at each end of the work area during traffic. There was still access at the driveways near the pavement repairs.

“We milled down a half-inch of asphalt and put down a two-inch thick top coat of asphalt,” said Jennifer George, NorthPoint’s Vice President of Development.

George said the millings were provided to the City of High Hill for their use on walking paths or other areas.
