Ground broken on Curry Streetscape Project in downtown Carson City
City officials and members of Q&D Construction gathered Monday morning at Telegraph Square in downtown Carson City to mark the beginning of the $3.99 million Downtown Curry Streetscape Project, a continuation of the downtown revitalization plan.
Shovels in hand, Carson City Board of Supervisors along with contractor Q&D Construction broke ground on West Telegraph Street near the intersection with North Curry.
"We are putting a face on the state capital that will last for a very long time," Carson City Mayor Bob Crowell said in his closing remarks. "On behalf of a grateful community, let's go turn some dirt and make Carson City beautiful."
This phase of downtown revitalization focuses on the downtown section of North Curry Street between Musser and Robinson streets, building upon the downtown Carson Street corridor improvements completed in 2016.
"The entire goal is to create a walkable, friendly downtown where people can enjoy getting together outside in a beautiful city," Crowell said.
Carson City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ronni Hannaman said the Downtown Curry Streetscape Project will serve as the capstone to downtown revitalization, an effort many years in the making.
"I see this as the final piece of the puzzle to improve the downtown area," said Hannaman, who began her professional career in the Nevada state capital in 1999 with a dress shop on West Telegraph Street near what is now Telegraph Square.
Completion of the Downtown Curry Streetscape Project is expected in October.
Project updates can be followed on the #CarsonProud web site and on social media, featuring information on business access, parking, road closures, detours and construction zones.
