During a recent government meeting, city officials discussed a pay request related to the downtown revitalization project, specifically focusing on sidewalk improvements along Jefferson and Fourth streets. The project, which began approximately three years ago, has been partially funded by grants.

Lainey, a representative from SPI, presented two pay estimates for approval: the first, amounting to $9,615.50, covers final adjustments and electrical cleanup, while the second, totaling $56,832.70, pertains to the release of retainage following the project's final inspection.

Lainey recommended the council approve both pay requests, emphasizing the completion of the project and the enhancements made, including new sidewalks and light poles. The council was invited to ask questions before making a decision on the recommendations.
