And, we appreciate the cooperation and support of the residents, the school district, and businesses during the project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Phase 2 project is extensive, stretching from Stardale Drive to Oxford Street with 3.5 miles of ditches, bioswales and stormwater pipe and 2.7 miles of sidewalks on both sides of Hessen Cassel. This represents a $3.87 million investment.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 1 of the project was completed in January and represented an investment of $2.1 million.  The first phase was from just south of Tillman Road to Stardale and had similar improvements on both sides of Hessen Cassel.<\/p>\n<p>A third project phase, a wetland in the Colonial Heritage neighborhood, is under construction and scheduled for completion next year.<\/p>\n<p>The combined phases will benefit the neighborhoods of Branning Hills, Casselwood Terrace, Eastland Gardens, Hickory Grove, Trier Ridge Park, Continental Park, Rolling Rose, Village Wood Community, Congress-McKinnie, Village Green, Colonial Heritage, Hoevelwood and Greater McMillen Park.<\/p>\n<p>The Hessen Cassel projects are part of City Utilities&#8217; commitment to invest $40 million in neighborhood stormwater projects between 2017-2022.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/category\/government\/city-of-fort-wayne\/\">View more AroundFortWayne posts on the City of Fort Wayne government<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='8924818c0fa1deb74ac1107e863a83e7' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
