🚧 Public Notice – Final Striping

The Appalachian Grant projects are planning to complete the final pavement striping for both the Riverfront Park and Streetscape projects on September 28th.

There will be no parking permitted on Main Street during the striping work and for a period beforehand to ensure the area is clear and the striping can be completed properly. Businesses in the area may be temporarily impacted during this work and until the paint dries completely.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we complete these final details of the projects. Thank you for your continued support!
