Vision 2025 Funds Earmarked for Collinsville Beautification Projects
Aug. 16, 2004 City Commission:
Dr. Susan Babbitt reported to the commissioners on progress made by the citizens committee studying beautification projects to recommend to the city to utilize approximately $200,000 of Vision 2025 funds for Collinsville beautification. The soon to commence intersection modification at 5th and Main is already allocated from those funds. About $17,600 of the remaining funds were recommended to be set aside for matching grants (up to $1000 each) for commercial buildings facing Main Street from 14th to 7th. If/when the commission acts on that preliminary recommendation, business owners/merchants could apply for up to $20 per linear foot for facade improvements for approved projects. The remaing funds are being considered for a variety of projects still being investigated. Among those potential projects are corner projects (with curb cutouts, planters, benches, trees, signs ... etc), improved street and pedestrian lighting, and a pocket park combined with additional city parking.
Sept. 7th, 2004 City Commission:
The Downtown/Neighborhoods Improvement Committee brought a portion of their recommendations to the commission for approval to contract with Landplan Consulants Inc. for $14,965. Landplan will design a streetscape plan and interface with citizens for feedback and ODOT for grant funds.
