Road Grant Awarded
The City of Firth was successful in a second application to LHTAC (Local Highway Technical Assistance Council) and awarded a grant to replace the road on Roosevelt St. and add a sidewalk & gutter. It is anticipated that the road will be very similar to the work done recently on Lincoln Street. We do not yet know when construction will start but are very excited to improve another road in town.
New Signs
We want to thank Roger Dye for his donation of the new Welcome to Firth signs!
Firth Riverbottom Park Improvement Project - an update from Mayor Brandon Jolley
The City is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a significant grant from the Idaho State Department of Parks and Recreation RV Fund to support improvements at the Firth Riverbottoms Park.
The City is currently working on a wide range of improvements to the City-owned property. Planned improvements include adding additional campsites, leveling and upgrading existing sites to better accommodate RVs, improving the pavilion, establishing a camp host site, adding a limited water supply, adding and improving picnic tables, adding a fee-based RV waste dump facility, and expanding the walking path.
The City remains in the early stages of evaluating which improvements are feasible and will provide the greatest benefit to the park and the community.
We are especially grateful for the efforts of Ted Hendricks and Brent “Husk” Crowther. Their work to help obtain the needed funding has made this improvement project possible.
