Work begins on downtown renovation
It will be some time before construction crews arrive in Worthington to start work on the upcoming Worthington Streetscape Project but on Monday, Town Street Superintendent David Dyer got a head start on the prep work that must be done to get ready.
With beautiful skies, 70 degree temperatures and a new-to-us front loader with a back hoe, Dyer started removing the concrete chunks of sidewalk and the pool surrounding the fountain on the Triangle.
The Streetscape Project, sometimes called the Downtown Renovation Project, will be funded through a grant from INDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) but the Town must provide some matching funds. To help meet the match, the Town can provide labor which counts the same as cash. Part of their match will be this preparation work David is doing on the Triangle.
Town Council President Hal Harp was on the Triangle working with David on Monday.

At the Worthington Town Council meeting Tuesday evening, Council President Hal Harp also recognized Glen Faulk for his work helping out on the Triangle, and Nick Spangler who helped all day Tuesday.
The Council noted several people had stopped to express concern about what was going to happen to the fountain - it will be put back at some point during the Streetscape Project.
