( KMZA )-The city of Seneca will seek a grant through the Kansas Department of Transportation to help fund the rebuilding of the remaining four-block original brick surface of Main Street from 7th to 10th.
The council Wednesday evening approved a resolution declaring the eligibility of the city to submit an application to KDOT seeking Transportation Enhancement Funds for phase 2 of the Main Street Rehabilitation project and authorizing the Mayor to sign the application.
The preliminary estimated cost of phase 2 has been placed at $1.5 million. The grant requires a 20 percent minimum local match.
The city will learn in late summer if the grant application is successful. If Seneca’s project is selected, construction wouldn’t likely begin until spring 2014.
The city received a grant in 2010 that paid 75 percent of the $1.6 million cost to rebuild Main Street from 3rd to 6th Street. That project was completed last year.
