Veedersburg approves Community Crossings street project funding and related appropriations

The Veedersburg Town Council approved additional appropriations tied to the Community Crossings street project and approved funding steps for a new digital sign fund.

Public works updates: Jesse and Dave described the Community Crossings program awards and the scope of planned work: mill-and-overlay on Main and other stretches (sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and repairs at a known water hole), plus additional mill-and-fill work on Sterling-area streets. Officials described the package as nearly a $1 million project with the town responsible for a 20 percent local match under the program’s 80/20 cost-sharing model. Milestone has been awarded the contract and is expected to begin work in June.

Appropriations and smaller items: Council voted to adopt Resolution 202603 to add Community Crossings appropriations (80/20), approved Ordinance 2026-01 to establish a digital sign fund and passed Resolution 202604 to appropriate funds for that sign. The council also approved routine payments: a $1,500 payment to Cornerstone Grant Management (sewer-related work), Reynolds Pay Application No. 22, and renewed the Kroning engagement letter for the coming year.

Operational notes: Jesse announced hydrant flushing will begin Wednesday, May 6 and continue until completion. The council also authorized a $5,200 pool control panel replacement to ensure pool operations this season.

Next steps: With the contract awarded and appropriations approved, work is expected to start in June; council directed staff to manage project coordination and report progress at future meetings.
