Downtown Streetscape Makes Progress
The Downtown Sebring Streetscape project is progressing nicely. Contractors have finished the alternate street work. Work began Aug. 13 on the concrete work being done on the Circle. This should be completed in October.
As work continues, workers are mindful of upcoming events and only anticipate minor impact on these events as only one Circle spoke will be worked on at a time.
