Downtown Dexter Streetscape

Beckett & Raeder, Inc. was commissioned in 1993 by the Village of Dexter Downtown Development Authority to assess, design, and redevelop the downtown area. Since that time a variety of projects have been completed including a new streetscape.

With a 1992 fund balance of $4,000 the Dexter Downtown Development Authority was able to combine a variety of funding tools including; general obligation bonds, special assessment funds, tax increment funds, and state/federal grants to complete in excess of $4,200,000 in construction projects.

Downtown projects included streetscape improvements consisting of new sidewalks, creation of pedestrian plazas, parking lot screening, new pedestrian lighting, traffic signalization and landscaping, parking lots, and acquisition of property. In addition to these projects work was completed on infrastructure upgrades including the replacement of the primary water main and individual services to properties in the downtown. New improvements to the storm sewer system with a new outfall into the Mill Pond were completed. Modifications were also made to the sanitary sewer system.
