<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The City of Columbia Stormwater Utility will host an open house for interested parties Thursday, May 30 from 4:30 until 5:30 p.m. at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The meeting will focus on the proposed project to replace failing stormwater infrastructure located near 815 S. Greenwood Ave. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The proposed project would replace 250 linear feet of metal drainage pipe and two inlets. Work is expected to take six to eight weeks and would require a two to three week closure of South Greenwood Avenue in order to remove and replace the pipes under the street. The estimated investment for this project is $135,000 and would be funded by the Stormwater Utility.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This meeting is the first step of the standard project planning process which can take a year or more to complete. Following this meeting, the project will undergo a public hearing before the City Council, acquisition of necessary easements, plan finalization and bidding the work before construction can begin. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Residents are invited to attend this interested parties meeting to learn more about the project and speak with City staff.</span></p></div>
