The grant funds repaving projects for:
W. College Street from S. Forest Avenue to S. University Avenue
W. Cherry Street from S. Oakland Avenue to S. Illinois Avenue
Poplar Street from W. Mill Street to W. Oak Street
The City says this investment will enhance transportation safety, improve road conditions, and support long-term community development.
