It was nearly a year ago that the City of Colfax and Colfax Main Street Inc. were awarded nearly $600,000 in Community Development Block Grants to facilitate the remodel of its downtown district, but just recently many of the changes have become evident.

Colfax Main Street Inc. held its latest Downtown Revitalization Project construction progress meeting Monday afternoon, where representatives from RDG Planning and Design and Cornerstone Commercial Contractors briefed the planning team on where they were in the process, what still needed to be completed and the potential timeline on the project.

Meanwhile, jackhammers echoed up Howard Street and down Walnut Street in downtown Colfax as the demolition of storefronts progressed.
