Hawthorne Improvement Project Completed

Sam accepts a medallion that will later be installed in the sidewalk.

The Hawthorne Improvement Project was first developed by the community with PDOT planners back in 1996. Council adopted the plan in 2007. But then, it languished.

Without any funding and with escalating construction costs, the project plans sat on a shelf. That is, until Sam secured the adequate for the project by asking for additional funds and shifting around some of PDOT's other projects and priorities.

The project finally broke ground in August of 2006, and was completed in November 2007.
