Colonial Beach awarded Safe Routes To School Grant
Good news just keeps coming in for Director of Building and Zoning, Gary Mitchell.
Wednesday, 08 February 2012 17:41 | Linda Farneth
In late January Mitchell got word that a $10,000 planning grant to study and prepare a redevelopment plan for town owned property was awarded by the Virginia Housing Development Authority (VHDA).
But this news was overshadowed on Feb. 6 when the Virginia Department of Transportation awarded the town with a $482,053 grant to fund the Safe Routes to School Infrastructure Project.
The project will provide sidewalk installation and/or repair along Douglas Avenue, Wilder Avenue and Livingstone Avenue and will include bicycle and pedestrian crossing improvements.
The town is announcing that the work is expected to begin within the next six months and will benefit not only children in the community but residents and visitors walking and biking throughout the town.
