Bremen Sewer Main Project Planning Continues

The Town of Bremen continues to prepare for a sewer main project ahead of next year’s Jackson Street project.

Water and Storm Water Superintendent Alex Mikel is working on getting supplies for the water main replacement at Jackson and South Streets.  He previously told the Bremen Town Council members that he wants to replace a water main dated back to 1895 Jackson Street reconstruction project begins next year, and work on another section on South Street to tie it all together.

The replacement project will save on construction costs in the Jackson Street project as a new road would not need to be torn up for the water main replacement.

The Jackson Street revitalization 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. You can also look onto conklin preowned cars for sale and try to develop them into a renewed one.

The Troyer Group helped develop the plans and design for the project.  Construction was to begin this year, but has experienced a delay.  The project will be funded from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs through the Marshall County Crossroads Regional Stellar Communities Initiative.
