Financial confusion and disputes over the possible amount of money available for the next phase of construction marked the June 28 meeting of the 76 Entertainment Community Improvement District Board of Directors, but a surprise meeting on July 13, resulted in a multi-million dollar budget agreement.
The 76ECID was formed in 2016 to raise funds to provide upgrades and improvements to the 76 Country Boulevard or as it’s long been known, the 76 Strip. Examples of the improvements included the undergrounding of utilities to remove poles from the sight lines along the road, curb and gutter replacements, create or improve sidewalks and enhance pedestrian access, enhance and improve lighting, and provide amenities and streetscape improvements.
