Background/Discussion

Pottawattamie Arts, Culture & Entertainment (PACE) is a 501(c)3 organization with a mission to strengthen, develop and promote arts, cultural, and historical institutions, organizations, and activities in Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County.  PACE is currently constructing a new arts and cultural center in the Harvester II building, located west of the Harvester I building on South Main Street.  The property for the new center is also bordered by S. 6th Street.

 

The City previously reconstructed S. 6th Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in 2012 in coordination with the new Community Health Center. 

 

Improvements are needed to replace the remaining sanitary sewer which dates back to the 1950’s and to improve the street now that the railroad tracks previously located along 11th Avenue have been removed.  This project will continue the needed reconstruction of 6th Street, south of 10th Avenue in coordination with the Harvester II/PACE project construction. 

 

This project was included in the FY18 CIP with a revised budget of $650,000 in Sales Tax Funds.
