“The response last night at the meeting was overwhelmingly positive,” said Service Director Robert Patrick.
The core of the downtown project includes:
- Replacing aging waterlines, storm sewers, sanitary sewers, electric, and communications lines in downtown Wadsworth.
- Improving safety and pedestrian connectivity between downtown amenities, plus efficient vehicle traffic.
- Enhancing sidewalks, streets and alleyways to make downtown more livable, vibrant, and a destination/gathering spot.
The project is estimated to cost between $10 million – $13 million. Ground is expected to be broken in 2021.
