Sidewalk Replacement Program Announced
The City of Alliance is offering an updated cost sharing program to assist residents in the repair of sidewalks located in the municipal right of way. As stated in Resolution NO. 24-117, the City of Alliance agrees to pay the full quantity of sidewalk concrete toward the replaced sidewalk at residential locations and up to five cubic yards of sidewalk for commercial locations. The financial share shall be in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the true and actual cost of concrete materials, as evidenced by a concrete batch plant invoice and compared to actual measured quantities installed. The City’s payment will be paid directly to the licensed contractor without markup. The property owner or private entity shall be responsible for securing the services of a licensed contractor and for paying all other costs. Funding is limited and is available on a first come first served basis.
Please contact Whisper Coleman or Vickie Hielscher at 308-762-1907 to sign up for the program prior to any repairs being made.
