📢 MARSHALL STREET UPDATE

The City of Stanton wants to provide an update regarding Marshall Street and the current status of the road.

At this time, the City is waiting on Hinkle to complete the remaining work and for the required final approval from the engineers overseeing the project. This is a federally funded project, and the City does not have control over the federal approval process or the timeline for that approval.

We understand that residents are anxious to see Marshall Street opened. We are too. The road has never been officially opened, and we are waiting on the final approval required before it can be opened to traffic.

As soon as the project receives the necessary approval, our goal is to get Marshall Street opened as quickly as possible.

We also want to make it clear that the road is not being kept closed for political reasons or for any other reason within the City's control. We are simply waiting on the required final approval through the federal project process.

We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding. We will continue to keep residents informed as we receive updates and will work to get the road open as soon as we are authorized to do so.

Thank you for your patience,
Mayor Willie Means & City of Stanton
