Sheridan South Downtown Project

Details of the Sheridan South Downtown Project were presented at this week’s study session of the Sheridan City Council. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The Sheridan South Downtown Project is identified in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan as a neighborhood project to rehabilitate and replace all of the infrastructure, including water and sewer lines, stormwater systems, curb and gutter, sidewalks and roadway paving. City staff is recommending that Mayor Rich Bridger and the City Council approve two resolutions to authorize the submission of a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loan application in the amount of $2.4 million and a Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan application in the amount of $2.6 million to fund the project.

The project area is just south of the Sheridan County Courthouse and encompasses south Main Street to the east, west College to the south, west Whitney to the north, and up to Thurmond to the west. City Utilities Director Dan Roberts said the drinking water loan, if approved, would allow for the improvement of the water system in the project area.

Roberts said the clean water loan would be used to replace the sewer system and improve the sewer service in the area. If the City Council approves both resolutions authorizing submission of the loan applications, they will be considered by SLIB in October. If the loans are approved, the project would start in the summer of 2025 and continue through 2028.’
