(KLZA)--A nearly $439-thousand downtown improvement project is scheduled to begin this week in the 1600 block of Stone Street in Falls City.
The City Council approved moving forward with the revitalization project in March.
The work will include replacement of the sidewalks on both sides of 16th and Stone Street. Curbs will be lowered, planter boxes and railings will also be added and new street light poles will be put in. A renovation of the intersection of 16th and Stone Street is also included.
The project will include bump outs at 16th and Stone, but they will be smaller than bump outs located at 17th and Stone Street.
AHRS Construction of Bern, Kansas was awarded the bid for the project. Falls City received a Community Development Block Grant for the project and plan to use approximately $190-thousand in capital improvement sinking funds from city sales tax monies to cover the rest of the cost.
