Construction work begun recently on Meadow Street is part of a $19.1 million project to refurbish Jackson, Meadow and Freight Street. The project is intended to help the city entice development in a roughly 70-acre area around Freight Street. It’s funded with a $14.4 million federal grant and $4.7 from city taxpayers. Upgrades to Freight Street were completed in 2018 under contractor Dayton Construction. The city picked Guerrera Construction to rebuild Jackson and Meadow Streets. It’s contract calls for “substantial completion” by July 31, with a complete finish by Nov. 13.
