An Office of Community and Rural Affairs grant could help the Bremen Main Street Committee and the Town of Bremen in an extensive downtown revitalization project that’s expected to begin in 2020.
The plan is to lower the streets eight to ten inches and resurface State Road 106 from Montgomery Street to Washington Street. INDOT will provide funding for that part of the project that is estimated around $1.3 million. The Town of Bremen will replace the curbs and sidewalks and new lighting will be installed downtown.
The entities should be notified in December if they are the recipients of a $500,000 OCRA grant to help fund the project. The project already has the support of INDOT in the amount of $1.3 million. The town would fund the rest of the $2.2 million estimated cost of the project.
If successful, the bidding process for contractors would begin early in 2020 with the project to start July 1.
