Hill City’s streetscape project is set to receive a welcome addition of $18,000 from the South Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT).
City administrator Brett McMacken presented to the council members an amendment to the original agreement, which allowed the city $300,000 in state funds with the city kicking in $75,000.
After explaining what he called a few “hiccups” in the amendment, about which he has conferred with Frank Bettmann, city attorney, and Paula Hisega, the state grant’s administrator, the council gave the green light to Mayor Dave Gray to sign the agreement.
McMacken said the original sidewalk committee came back together to fine-tune the plan for the city. He said Doug Sperlich, city engineer, is now redrawing the plan.
The city is moving ahead with the Comprehensive Plan, which will guide Hill City well into the future.
“P&Z is coming up with survey questions that they will use as an outreach to different groups in the community. We will schedule a community meeting sometime in the latter part of March,” said McMacken.
