Columbia recently announced the commencement of the Columbia Infrastructure and Greenspace Improvement Project.

This key initiative aims to enhance both the safety and aesthetic appeal of the city’s downtown district.

The project is being carried out in partnership with Columbia Main Street, thanks to the GM on Main Street Grant Program.

Earlier this year, this program awarded five $50,000 grants to nonprofit organizations and municipal government entities near GM facilities, including the City of Columbia.

Work officially began June 24th, 2024, and is expected to be completed over the next several months.

Downtown Columbia will see significant improvements as a result of this project, including curb extensions at three intersections on the public square, increased greenspace and two informational kiosks.
