There is a townhall on the campus master plan this coming Tuesday (https://events.k-state.edu/event/campus-master-plan-town-hall-6666). The President is seeking feedback from anyone interested in participating. [Event was March 26th)
Plans for the Aggieville redevelopment at 12th st and Laramie were shared; changes will be made to the proposed designs based on feedback from Aggieville business owners and the City Commission.
$2.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds are available for public works projects. A consulting group looked over proposed projects and selected two that are likely to be approved for use of ARPA funds. One is the replacement of water mains on Anderson Ave and street/sidewalk upgrades, the other is upgrades to the lime sludge lagoon associated with the water treatment plant off Tuttle Creek blvd. The consulting group is continuing to conduct analysis to determine which project might fit the fund requirements best. Both projects are in the planning phase and should be contracted by the end of 2024. Planning staff will follow the recommendation of the consulting group on which project is most likely to be eligible for the funds and will defer to the city commission’s preference otherwise.
