City to Apply for Loans for South Downtown Project

The City of Sheridan will apply for two loans for an infrastructure project located just south of the Sheridan County Courthouse that encompasses south Main Street to the east, west College to the south, west Whitney to the north, and up to Thurmond to the west. The City Council approved two separate resolutions at their business meeting Monday night authorizing 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 Sheridan South Downtown project. City Utilities Director Dan Roberts.

Roberts said the proposed 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. The loan applications will be considered by SLIB in October, and if approved, it is anticipated the project would start in the summer of 2025 and continue through 2028.
