A Wharton County-owned storage facility in Wharton will soon undergo asbestos abatement at a cost much lower than was anticipated by county officials. At yhe last session of commissioners court, the commissioners accepted bids for the project and awarded it to Emanuel Enterprises of Houston for $13,444. The county received five bids up to $25,025. Emanuel Enterprises estimated it would take four days to do the work, which was faster than the other bidders.
