Paving of a large number of Decatur streets is expected to begin after Labor Day.
City Operations Manager Jeremy Gilbert says Brooks construction will begin handicap ramp work this week on the streets to be repaved.
That concrete work portion of the project will take a few weeks, then milling and paving will begin after Labor Day, Gilbert explained.
The paving work is expected to take a couple weeks to complete.
The project has a total construction cost of $1,052,685.26, most of which is funded by the latest state Community Crossings grant acquired by the city.
Decatur’s cost via a matching grant is $263,171.30.
The city also is putting up $235,365 to pave six alleys and two streets.
