ST. JOHN’S DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION PROJECT

 

The City of St. John, with funding from the Kansas Department of Commerce & Housing, recently completed a streetscape project in beautiful downtown St. John.  Sidewalks around the downtown area were replaced, brick pavers and brick benches were added.  Imbedded within the benches are historic tiles made by local artisan Carol Curtis Long.  All power lines were buried and four new trees were planted.  Volunteer Forester Barry Ragan revamped the flower beds on the corners of the square.
