5/30/13 - The Highland Township DDA met last night in regards to the streetscape project plans for renovating several sidewalks, landscaping and pavement inlays on Milford Road. The project, which will reconstruct the quarter-mile area near M-59, is estimated to amount to a total of $1.2 million. Missy Dashevich, executive director of the Highland DDA, tells WHMI this project is slightly out of their budget. The board will meet again in 2 weeks for a budget meeting to determine how to best spend the money in the budget on the project and how else they can procure funds to pay for what the budget canât cover. Nowak and Fraus Engineering is the company that has been hired to prepare construction drawings for the streetscape project. Jeffrey Huhta, Vice President of Nowak and Fraus Engineering, says there are four components of the project: funding, construction drawing preparation, easement procurement and permits from the road commission. Huhta says the construction documents are 90% complete and they have gone through the first round of permit review. Huhta says before they can take the next step, they have to wait for the HDDA to develop a funding program for how they want to proceed. If all goes as planned, construction is expected to begin around the beginning of August.(DK)
