Bremen Director of Operations Trend Weldy clarified last week that the proposed Jackson Street revitalization project is still in the works, but the project will now be funded by a different source.
Initially, INDOT was going to fund the project as listed in the Marshall County Crossroads Regional Stellar Communities Initiative, but it will now be funded by the Office of Community and Rural Affairs with a match from the Town of Bremen.
The project includes a flex street on South Jackson Street that can be utilized for a host of events including a pavilion and parking, along with a gathering space, expanding sidewalks and curbs with more pedestrian space, lighting, parking, and renovating alleys with lighting and art to make them a more friendly space. The project may also include charging stations for electric cars, but that is still in the discussion stages.
The Troyer Group helped develop the plans and design for the project. Construction was to begin this year, but has experienced a delay.
