Last week marked the start of a major renovation project in downtown Rifle.

After Rifle City Council recently approved a $3.8 million contract with KSK Construction Group of Grand Junction, the highly anticipated revitalization project will improve a number of infrastructural issues in the area.

Waterlines will be replaced. New parking options will be added. Curbside appeal will be beautified.

Construction is slated to end in summer.
