Downtown Facelift
Published March 8th, 2012
Downtown Ocala will look very different in the future after the City received millions of dollars to help spruce it up. The city recently secured a two million dollar federal grant to re-align the railroad lines along Osceola Avenue and SE 3rd Street. The project is key to a linear park that will connect the downtown to Tuscawilla Park. City officials say the plans will help make the downtown more pedestrian friendly while creating a downtown hub. Other improvements to the downtown have already started, like the Citizens Square at City Hall. The railroad project could begin as early as October.
