(KAIR)--Following a ribbon cutting in June, timed with Atchison's Juneteenth celebration at LFM Park, the makeover of the park continues to move forward.
Following approval for an extension of the project's timeline, as previously requested by the City and now received by the City from the State of Kansas, as Community Development Block Grant Program funding of around $414,000 were contributed for the upgrade, Atchison City Manager Mark Westhoff told the City Commission last week that the work is on track for an October completion.
Planning for the upgrades had been underway for several years prior to the start of the work, with City staff proposing an LFM improvement plan during the 2023 budget season.
