Keene Downtown Construction Timeline Changes Impact Local Businesses
What happened
Contractors for Keene’s downtown project have altered the construction timeline. Underground utility line replacement near Water Street will begin at the end of the month and move north. This means some Main Street businesses will face construction disruptions much earlier than originally scheduled.

Why it matters
The timeline changes, implemented to keep the project running on time after bidding delays, are affecting local commerce. Businesses are already reporting dips in revenue because customers are avoiding Main Street due to the work.
