Legislative Priority Submission: East Center Street Railroad Underpass Improvements

Presented by: Leadership Hopkins County Bridge Group

This year, four Leadership Hopkins County participants were assigned the “Railroad Underpass Improvement” project.   The area to be improved is located near the new city entrance sign on East Center Street.  Bridge Group’s mission is to support the efforts of Tourism and Economic Development within Madisonville and Hopkins County by strategically improving the north east side of the underpass. 

Over the past several weeks the team has dedicated collectively 240 to 260 hours on this project and made over 75 contacts.  Some local businesses have already made or committed to make donations in the form of cost of labor, discounted materials, materials, and professional knowledge.  As a result of their hard work Bridge Group has developed a plan to include an estimated cost and a design the citizens of Madisonville and Hopkins County will be proud of.
