Streetscape grant eyed for paving canopy and benches
City Manager Doug Freeman said Streetscape could be a 100 percent grant project with a likely total around 700000 and bids rebid after higher than expected. If approved, funds would finish paving between Third and Fourth streets, add a Farmers Market canopy, trees, planters, benches, trash cans and some admin and architectural fees. Freeman updated on the Knob School playground, noting it remains on Knob School property with grass and a basketball court. The city seeks 32500 in grant aid for Knob improvements, half the project cost, with the rest from funding or in kind services.
