The Hutchinson City Council agreed Tuesday to take up at its next meeting whether to reapply for a $9 million federal grant to rebuild portions of the Woodie Seat Freeway.
The city twice has filed an application seeking to fund the majority of the estimated $11.2 million project that includes rebuilding some bridges and demolishing others, closing a portion of Avenue B, and installing a roundabout.
Though assured by the city’s consultant it was competitive, the application has failed to garner funding both times and the condition of the roadway continues to deteriorate.
If the city is going to apply again, the application process begins next month.
