The summer construction season is in full swing and in Monticello, there are a couple of projects underway.
Director of Community Development, Callie McFarland says the big project is their streetscape improvement that will connect their downtown district to the west side of the community.
According to McFarland, there's also street rehab taking place in parts of the community. She indicates it is to some of their more traveled roads in town.
As the summer rolls along, there is a portion of land near their downtown the city is looking to develop. McFarland says their goal is to have the development mirror their downtown with commercial, retail and residential development.
McFarland says there is some interest with developers in that property adjacent to downtown and says it could be later this summer when requests for proposal go out and bids come back.
