AuburnBank’s downtown redevelopment plan is on the Auburn City Council’s agenda Tuesday night.
The council will vote on a plan to spend $323,700 on streets and lighting improvements as part of bank’s ambitious plan to remake its headquarters at Gay Street and Magnolia Avenue.
A start date hasn’t been announced, but the project has been under consideration for several years. When it’s complete, the AuburnBank site will include apartments with street level housing, a parking garage and new offices.
The council will also take up a street resurfacing project. The council will vote on whether to spend up to $1.25 million on work to Cherry Street, Kent Drive, Annalue Drive and a handful of other city streets. D & J Enterprises submitted the lowest bid ($1.99 million), undercutting 2 other bidders by more than half.
