Pettis County’s application for a share of revenue from a county-wide half-cent sales tax was presented to representatives of Sedalia, La Monte and Smithton on Wednesday morning at the Pettis County Courthouse, 415 South Ohio.
A little over 24 hours after MoDOT forced the City of Sedalia to close the Washington Street Bridge to due to safety concerns, the Pettis County Commission stepped up and donated $200,000 to help with the cost of repairing the railroad bridge.
