Madison — In remarks to the Common Council on Tuesday, the mayor announced the Crystal Beach Aquatic Center received an Indiana parks and recreation award for design excellence in projects over $2,000,000 and thanked staff and community partners.
The mayor highlighted two major construction efforts: modernization work at the TSO plant, expected to be completed by the end of December, and the Main Street project, which includes public‑safety improvements and is nearing reopening in time for holiday events. He said plantings and curb bump‑outs are being finished and that downtown will host seasonal activities including Light Up Madison, trolley tours and a parade.
