The City of Lockport, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration and the NYS Dept. of Transportation, completed the rehabilitation of their downtown. The project included asphalt pavement replacement, storm sewer improvements, reconstruction of intersections, street light & traffic signal replacement, and timing improvements. Decorative and historic elements were combined to compliment the Erie Canal's enormous lock system. As a result of this project, new businesses are returning from the mall venues outside of the City, and a new "City Center" is nearing completion.
