The Kennesaw City Council decided Nov. 6 to allow Croy Engineering to provide civil engineering and survey services for the Depot Park Improvements Project.
For $88,990, Croy’s tasks will consist of surveying, preliminary design, permitting and environmental services. Funding will come from the 2011 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. Totaling about 12.5 acres, the entire project is expected to cost $8,855,027 for the 12 phases with total completion expected by 2022.
In downtown Kennesaw, Depot Park is bounded by the railroad tracks on the west and Sardis Street to the east. A multi-use path will connect the park south through a planned townhome development to Gateway Park on South Main Street. The museum ADA and underpass have been completed and, by the end of this year, the Gateway Park.
By the first quarter of 2019, park mass grading and wetland improvements should be completed. Parking improvements are expected to be finished by the third quarter of 2019. By 2022, completion is anticipated for the parking lawn, upper meadow, the amphitheater and festival area. Other parking lot and museum entry/promenade improvements will depend on roadway projects.
