Lee Street Stormwater Improvement Project Begins Jan. 13

Construction of the Lee Street Stormwater Improvement Project will begin Monday, Jan. 13. The goal of the project is to provide stormwater drainage improvements to lessen flooding issues in the area.

Construction is expected to take approximately 140 days, weather permitting. The project will include demolition of three residences at 925, 927 and 975 W. Lee St., which were acquired by the city through the HMGP funding. After the residences are demolished, a new stormwater retention pond will be constructed in the vacated area. Underground drainage infrastructure will also be installed to connect the new pond to the existing pond, which will reduce roadway and private property flooding in the local area as a result of high intensity rainfall events.

Read more about the project in the city's press release.
