"This project will help create jobs and keep local companies competitive by revitalizing the Crescent Industrial Area to attract new businesses and support economic growth in the region."

    This investment funds improvements to streets inside the Crescent Industrial Area as well as improvements to adjacent streets, water and sewer lines, storm drainage, street lighting, traffic signals, and landscaping.
