Downtown Improvements Spark Entrepreneurship, Improved Public Safety

Improving the pedestrian experience and increasing public safety were paramount as the City of Clinton implemented a multi-phased downtown revitalization effort that included new lighting, street trees, open space plantings and street resurfacing designed for improved parking and traffic flow. Led by our community development team, the project covered a 6-block area and also included replacing water mains, installing conduits for Progress Energy power lines and Century Link / Star Vision communication lines, replacing curbs and gutters and replacing the existing sidewalk with a new concrete and brick-accented sidewalk. Additionally, a new parking area overlooking Cattail Branch with a new pedestrian friendly walking trail was constructed, along with the revitalization of another parking lot adjacent a new City art wall and pocket park. During the project we provided engineering services that included the development of the construction documents, bidding and negotiation assistance, coordination with utility companies through all phases of the project, and construction contract administration and construction observation.
