Many people had to come together to bring the Rhinelander Downtown Streetscape Project to fruition. In this video, you’ll hear from some of them: Mark Barden, of Town & Country Engineering, on the years of design work needed before the water and sewer upgrade could get underway; Rhinelander Public Works Director Tim Kingman on the unique obstacles workers have encountered in century-old underground infrastructure; a local business owner in the heart of the construction zone on how he’s coped. It’s a snapshot of a community still in the midst of the disruption a project of this scope causes, but everyone realizes and has their eyes on the long-term gains.
