NATCHEZ, Miss. (AP) — Adams County supervisors have approved a $522,673 to relocate a sewer line on the former Belwood County Club property, the future site of KiOR’s Natchez alternative fuel production facility.
The Natchez Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/UlZ4lh) that the contract went to T.L. Wallace Construction.

Board Attorney Scott Slover says the bid was about $180,000 below the county’s projected price for the project.
Relocating the sewer line is part of the plant to build a levee to protect the Belwood property from the Mississippi River. Engineers say the property is currently prone to flooding during high water.
Bids have not yet been taken on the levee, which the county has estimated to cost about $5 million.
Local officials say they are working with KiOR’s engineers on the project to look at site drainage.
