Keene Public Works will be hosting the first of many "Coffee and Hard Hats" meetings on Wednesday, June 10th, at 10:00 AM at the Transportation Center on Gilbo Ave. In attendance will be Public Works staff and George Downing, the project ombudsman. Next month, representatives from the construction contractor and the construction inspection firm will also be participating.
This informal monthly meetup gives downtown businesses and residents an important opportunity to learn specific plans and schedules for the month ahead, provide input, and ask questions.
Construction for Phase 1 (Central Square area) is planned to start mid-July, just a few weeks away, and last through November. The Coffee and Hard Hats meetings will provide ample time for Q&A and a brief overview of the project. We encourage downtown businesses and other stakeholders to attend, share questions and concerns, and stay in the loop.
Visit the Downtown Project Website (link: www.keenenh.gov/project/downtown) for project information. Public Works staff will also be providing project updates at monthly City Council MSFI Committee meetings on 4th Wednesday's at 6:00 PM in City Hall. These meetings are open to the public, and they are also streamed and recorded for viewing on YouTube (link: www.youtube.com/@KeeneIMS).
