Overview

The project will construct a community plaza along 5th Street in downtown Connersville. The project will be used for community festivals and events including the local farmers’ market and will expand tourism activities along the existing Whitewater Valley Railroad. READI funds will be used to procure the structural steel for the project. The project is being delivered through a design-big-build process with the City of Connersville, IN serving as the project owner. Structural steel materials will be purchased after the City received three price quotes for materials. The intended outcome of the project includes a gazebo stage, arbor walks, and a multi-use concrete plaza. The project is a partnership between the City of Connersville and the Fayette County Community Foundation. The project has no direct impact on climate change.
