Jefferson City Council approves $1.9 million contract for Chestnut Street extension

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Jefferson City Council at its Monday night meeting approved a $1.9 million contract for the Chestnut Street Extension.

Meetings documents indicate the contract is with Stockman Construction Corporation to construct the street beginning near Capitol Avenue to a cul-de-sac south of the railroad tracks. Half of the cost of the project will be reimbursed by the state, documents say.

“This street will serve the State Health Laboratory and the River Market which are currently under construction and will provide access for additional development in the MSP site,” the documents say.
