Public input meeting scheduled for Kenworth neighborhood sidewalk project

The City of Hickory, in partnership with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), is developing a sidewalk improvement project in the Kenworth neighborhood. The project includes the construction of new sidewalks along portions of 10th Avenue SE, Eighth Avenue SE, Fifth Avenue SE, and Third Avenue Drive SE to enhance pedestrian safety, accessibility, and neighborhood connectivity.

Community members are invited to attend an open house public meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 18, from 4-6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Hickory City Hall, located at 76 North Center Street. The drop-in meeting will provide residents with an opportunity to learn more about the proposed project, review project information, speak directly with members of the project team, and share feedback. No formal presentation will be given, and attendees may arrive at any time during the two-hour meeting.
