Facelift plans for block in downtown shopping district
City officials seek 21 property owners on the 300 block to approve sidewalk vault repairs by September 1 to start next year. Vaults under sidewalks, once used for deliveries, are rotting and causing sagging pavement. The initiative pairs city funding of up to 375000 for repairs with 375000 in 15 year loans at 7 percent to owners, plus a downtown loan fund of 300000 for 6 percent loans to revitalize brick facades and buildings across the district.
