BERLIN — The city has submitted its $18.7 million application to revitalize downtown Berlin by reconstructing the entire streetscape and installing an innovative snowmelt system.

The city has spent four years studying and gathering information on the concept since it was first suggested by City Manager James Wheeler. As proposed, “Renewing Berlin with Renewable Energy” would reconstruct Main and Pleasant Streets from Green Square to St. Anne Church. Sidewalks, parking lots, two bridges would be rehabilitated or reconstructed and sections of the aging drainage infrastructure would be replaced. Partnering with Burgess BioPower, the city would install a snowmelt system that would eliminate snow and ice in the downtown.
