New sidewalks and streetlamps are on the horizon for another block of Kearney Street after the City of Clarendon was notified Monday that it’s Texas Department of Agriculture Downtown Revitalization grant application has been approved.
The same program that revitalized the 100 block of Kearney will now carry over into the 200 block, improving accessibility, pedestrian safety, and overall appearance in that section of downtown.
More details on the new grant will be reported soon. Construction on the 200 block project is still several months away, following the bidding process and other necessary steps under the grant.
Meanwhile, the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation funded parking striping in the 100 block, which was completed last week, and the CEDC and Clarendon Chamber of Commerce are working together to get holiday decorations for the new lights installed in that section. Garland was installed on the posts Wednesday, and banners are expected next week.
New handrailing for the 100 block project and some other finishing touches for the lamp posts are expected soon also.
