Cliff Williams / The Tribune Fresh asphalt covers Sistrunk Street looking at James Street in downtown Tallassee. The streetscape project is reported to be completed sometime in February assuming no weather or supply chain issues.

After years of working through the grant process, the streets and sidewalks in downtown Tallassee are almost new again. Work began almost two years ago to replace decades old utilities and install new sidewalks, lighting and asphalt. The process even saw the city tear down the burned out remains of the Hotel Talisi.

Tallassee Public Works director James Gardner said the projects are finally coming to an end.
