Lick Run Greenway Construction Progress
Construction of the $103 million Lick Run Greenway began in July 2017 and is expected to be completed by July 2021. As of spring 2021, construction is about 98% complete.
The stream channel and underground stormwater conveyance box are taking flow to the Mill Creek. MSD's contractor - Kokosing Industrial, Inc. - is currently working on the recirculation pump station, lighting, and punch list items.
