Lake City Park Project Faces Budget Overrun Due to Utility Delays
What happened
The Grand Central Park project in Lake City is expected to exceed its original $1.87 million construction budget by $80,000 to $100,000. The increase is attributed to various project delays and additional work required for adjustments. Initial delays occurred when Consumers Energy, Brightspeed, and Charter were tasked with moving overhead utilities underground, a process that was not completed until February of this year.

Why it matters
The delays, which included utility relocation and subsequent erosion caused by heavy rainfall and wind, have resulted in increased construction costs for the municipal park project. The project's cost overrun requires review by the Lake City Council.
