Downtown Reconstruction

This page will provide residents and business owners with updates regarding project-related information.

Project Purpose

The downtown district’s streets and sidewalks, originally built in the 1950s, are now showing significant wear. Many are in poor condition, and the aging underground utilities, including lead water service lines, may require replacement. This project aims to revitalize the downtown area by modernizing its infrastructure, improving safety, and ensuring long-term functionality for the community.

Project Scope

This project will revitalize the downtown area of Casselton by reconstructing and updating underground utilities, streets, sidewalks, lighting, and other improvements.
