The City of Russellville in partnership with City Corporation is embarking on a major infrastructure project which will include upgrading sewer and water services undergrounding electrical services and high-speed fiber-optic communication cables. The project is appropriately entitled DIG (Downtown Introduces Greatscape) Russellville and will culminate in a new downtown streetscape which will include repaving streets, improving sidewalks, adding new lighting and enriching the landscaping. The scope of the plan is bound by the railroad tracks on the north, West 2nd Street on the south, El Paso Avenue on the west and Arkansas Avenue on the east.

The installation of new pipes will ensure the distribution of quality drinking water to businesses and residents. This upgrade will also provide the foundation for future expansion with potential fire sprinkler systems and water services to empty properties downtown.
New sewer pipes will maintain wastewater standards for our downtown community. This enhancement will help improve services to businesses and residents and bolster the infrastructure for future economic growth and development.
Installation of a new underground conduit for electrical and communication services will be essential to the enhanced downtown. This will allow downtown businesses and residents to take advantage of next-generation technology. Undergrounding these services will help secure them from future storm and wind damage and vastly improve the appearance of the downtown streetscape.
