The last of the concrete for downtown Dexter's streetscape improvement is being poured this week.
The village is spending $731,000 to upgrade one square block between Main, Broad, Jeffords and Forrest streets. The upgrades include new streets, sewers, landscaping, sidewalks, lighting and other amenities.
The project is on the west side of its downtown, overlooking the Huron River. The 2-phase project will finish up next year and will complement the adjacent bridge and dam replacement development.
Next year the village plans to install the last of the light poles, plant trees and add more parking spaces. The idea is to create a walkable and aesthetically pleasing space to complement the rest of downtown's main drags.
