Applications are now available to apply for the Town of Culver’s Sidewalk Program. Those completed applications, including a sketch of the property and sidewalk to be replaced, will be accepted via email beginning at 8 a.m. ET, Monday, April 3.
Applications can be found on the town’s website at www.townofculver.org. Email applications to kheim@townofculver.org. Any applications received before 8 a.m. on April 3 will not be accepted.
The program reimburses the homeowner a set per square foot amount for sidewalks and per lineal foot for curb and curb/sidewalk combination (when the sidewalk and curb are next to each other). It is the homeowner’s responsibility to obtain a contractor, provide the town specifications, and pay for services.
If the site qualifies for the program, property owners will receive a letter from the clerk-treasurer confirming the participation, the amount of reimbursement, and the next steps. Do not start a project until you have received the confirmation letter.
Residents must complete the project in the year in which funds are approved as funds will
not roll over to the following year. Not completing the project will disqualify residents from applying in a future round.
The Culver Town Council members took action last week to approve an increase in reimbursement rates. The reimbursement rates were increased from $2.75 to $4.00 per square foot for a sidewalk, a curb from $14.00 to $21.00 per lineal foot, and a sidewalk/curb combination from $26.00 to $39.00 per lineal foot.
Any questions may be directed to the Culver Town Hall at 574-842-3140.
