BEVIER, MO. -- Students in Bevier are finding their walk much safer this year thanks to brand new sidewalks.
Grants through the Macon Economic Development Corporation and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) enabled the city to improve existing sidewalks and add some new.
To celebrate the completion of the project, Bevier principal Lisa Borden, along with several classes of students and teachers, will gather in downtown Bevier at the steam engine on Friday, September 2 at 2:00 p.m.
Principle Borden and her students and teachers will join State Representative Tom Shively, Bevier Mayor Bill Cosby, School Superintendent Joan Patrick, Macon County Economic Development Coordinator Denise Bennett and representatives of MoDOT, who will offer brief remarks during the celebration. The Bevier School Jazz Band will provide music, and the students will unveil an art project to conclude the event.
The public is invited to attend the ceremony. In case of inclement weather the location will be moved to the school gymnasium.
