Summary
A city presenter said the town completed part of a downtown sidewalk project and was awarded $800,000 in federal funds to extend sidewalks; the city must provide a 20% match and plans to use local funds to meet the requirement.
A city presenter announced that the town completed one side of a downtown sidewalk project and has been awarded $800,000 in federal grant funds to extend sidewalks to additional areas. The presenter said the city must provide a 20% local match for the grant and that council budget action has arranged the local share so work can proceed.
The presenter said the first phase of sidewalks downtown is finished and that the second phase will begin once matching funds are available and federal requirements are met. No construction timetable or exact locations for the extension were specified during the update.
The presenter encouraged residents to watch the city’s web and social channels for project updates and emphasized that the project investment is intended to improve pedestrian access across town.
Next steps: city staff will coordinate grant compliance and scheduling for the second phase; funding details beyond the 20% match were not specified in the presentation.
