1st Street Storm Water/Sewer Project Update: This project is currently requiring the temporary closure of the Center St. Underpass. The contractor working on the project is moving right along, ahead of schedule! Yay! The City is anticipating the project to be wrapped up by mid-May, if not before. Until the Underpass is reopened, please continue to use the Benton St. or Gould St. Overpasses to visit your favorite Downtown businesses. You know they would love to see you!

Please remember, this project is not the large renovation project. That project has not been scheduled. We are looking forward to a busy spring, summer and fall full of great shopping, dining and special events for our community and guests to enjoy!
