Columbus City Council will consider a $567,300 contract with Hitchcock Design Group that extends through the end of the proposed riverfront redevelopment project up until October 2023.
Columbus Redevelopment Commission members recommended that the council approve the contract after a presentation from Randy Royer, lead designer with Hitchcock Design Group, detailing the final two phases of the proposed riverfront redevelopment.
The city filed its application with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources in October for the proposed $8.6 million conceptual plan calling for several overlooks of the East Fork White River downtown, connections to the People Trail system and an in-water recreation area.
The roughly 300-page application includes a narrative project description that summarizes the project scope, need for the project, and the project’s major components, maps and aerial photographs showing the proposed project location and a quantification of permanent and temporary disturbances and hydraulic modeling information.
