New streets, curbs, sidewalks, and drains highlight the improvements in the Filmore South Group A project. The $4.4M project constructed by Hard Rock Construction Co., LLC covered approximately 10 square blocks stretching from Filmore to Harrison avenues. The new streets will improve the overall quality of life for residents in the area. All work is expected to be completed in March 2021, weather permitting.
