Collins highway lighting project about halfway finished

Two improvement projects in Collins should be wrapping up in the coming weeks. A project to add new LED lighting along Highways 49 and 184 is about halfway done and should be complete in October. The total cost is nearly $700,000, and 80% of that is funded with a federal grant. Meanwhile, City Hall is getting a face lift, with new paint and grout work and new wheelchair-accessible front doors.
