See the complete collection here and submit your own here.To fully understand the impact Eagle Scout projects have on communities, you need to see to believe. That’s why I asked to see Eagle Scout project before-and-after photos — the same photos prospective Eagles are asked to include with their post-project report.This week’s batch of 18 projects includes a 24-foot bridge over a creek, a tire-climbing tower for rescued dogs and a pair of outdoor sensory stations for students with autism.What’s great is that you can multiply each individual act of stupendous service by more than 50,000. That’s how many Eagle Scout projects get completed every single year.TIP: Click or tap and drag the slider below each image to see the change.Andrew from GeorgiaWho: Andrew, Troop 615, Evans, Ga.What: Andrew and his helpers built a tire-climbing tower for the rescued dogs at the Humane Society of McCormick County.

The $5.2 million contract covers the construction of a 750,000-gallon water tank, water improvements, a new pumping station and a force main. The contract amount could rise to the $5.6 million range should some contingencies be included.“This will get the water pressure, and the water volume up in our industrial park,” Mayor Leonard Riley said.The city will be accepting bids on the new water tank this June. The tank will be located on a high point of land off Huguley Road, near the location where some Chattahoochee Fuller Center Project homes have been built.In other action, the council approved a nine-item consent agenda. This included replacing the roof at Valley Police Department, accepting a corrective deed with the Henry Hudson Company, awarding grass cutting bids, declaring a public nuisance and authorizing abatements on two properties in the city, permitting the public consumption of alcoholic beverages at two upcoming events at Valley Community Center, declared a floor machine that’s been used at the Community Center surplus and authorized a sales tax holiday in July.The police department roof will be replaced in two phases. A flat roof will be replaced for $14,000 by Roof Services Company in Lanett. AJ’s Roofing & Gutters will replace the shingled roof in Opelika for $24,000.The deed issue with the Henry Hudson Company clears up an error in a previous action. A portion of property acquired by the city in a land swap with the Georgia Power Company was unintentionally omitted. A corrective deed takes care of this.The grass-cutting bids have been awarded to Gerry Smith Lawn Service, Inc. and Riverside Lawn Care. Gerry Smith offered the lowest proposals for the Shawmut, Fairfax, Fairview, Bethlehem and River View cemeteries. Riverside had the low bids for the Langdale Cemetery, city hall complex, the Horace King Memorial Bridge, Langdale Fountain Park and Veterans’ Memorial Park.Six companies offered bids to do the grass cutting for the city.The properties to be abated are located at 203 Stanfield Road and on Carter Lane.One of the even...
