Warsaw Redevelopment Commission approved a study proposal for the downtown area at its meeting Monday.
A comprehensive study of the downtown Warsaw area has not been done since 2002. The commission decided it was definitely time to reevaluate the area as there have been many changes made within the past 20 years.
The study will indicate what changes were positive for the area and those that were negative for the area. The contract includes an action plan for future developments and changes based on the evaluation.
The study will be paid for through the Redevelopment Central TIF district funds in the amount of $27,500.
A proposal for Shelden Street improvements through Engineering Resources Inc., that is completing the Town Hall project, was also discussed.
The developer would like to do roadwork on the development area and side streets, provide sidewalks, striping on the roadway from the roundabout to Ind. 15 and complete a study to determine if streetlights can be installed along the area.
Adjustments may be made to the contract depending on the quote for street lighting, but the commission moved to approve the proposal.
The commission recognized Richard Snodgrass for his 15 years of service and contributions and Jeremy Mullins for his years of service representing Warsaw School Board.
The commission also approved:
• An amendment to the airport road lift station and force main agreement, increasing the contract amount by $11,200.
• Acquisition for the last parcel needed for the Anchorage Road right-of-way project, totaling over $30,000.
The next Warsaw Redevelopment Commission meeting will be at 4 p.m. March 6 at Warsaw City Hall, 102 S. Buffalo St., Warsaw, in the council chambers.
