The DDA streetscape construction project is underway in downtown Hastings.  Monday, crews from Katerberg VerHage, Inc. of Grand Rapids began work on the north side of State Street in front of Hastings Public Library and City Hall and will move west on the north side of the street block by block throughout the fall. 

The contractor will begin taking down light poles and removing trees before getting into concrete removal and replacement of sidewalks, from Boltwood Street to Broadway.  Work on the south side of State Street will take place in the spring.
