The City of Hastings will close three downtown blocks of State Street between Broadway and Michigan for a re-surfacing project beginning Monday, May 4th.  The closure will require customers, residents, business owners and employees to park elsewhere.  Sidewalks will remain open during the project.

The milling of the old street surface, laying new asphalt, and re-painting is expected to be completed in four days, with the anticipated completion May 8th. City Manager Jerry Czarnecki said the project was being done as soon as possible when sufficient asphalt became available.

Czarnecki said a portion of Jefferson Street between Grand and Shriner will also be re-surfaced.
