Greenwood approves reconstruction of Rock Island Railroad historical building
Summary
The board approved a resolution to reconstruct the Rock Island Railroad historical building; staff said public works salvaged parts, three bids were received and Kingdom Contracting was the lowest qualified bidder, with work expected to begin in January 2025.
The Greenwood board approved a resolution to reconstruct the Greenwood Rock Island Railroad historical building on Dec. 20, 2024.
Steven, speaking for staff, said the project has been under consideration for years and that public works disassembled the original building behind Greenwood Mercantile and preserved parts for reconstruction. He told the board that the city received three bids and the lowest qualified bidder was Kingdom Contracting. "Our public works crew has poured the slab for the building to go on, and then if approved tonight, they could start that work, probably January 2025 and try to get it done early February," Steven said.
Staff framed the reconstruction as part of the broader "Greenwood Connected" plan to preserve local history and enhance downtown. The resolution was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
The board did not record a roll-call vote tally in the public transcript. Staff indicated further details and scheduling would appear in future agendas and project updates.
