The City of Sedgwick is dedicated to enhancing walkability and safety in our neighborhoods, and the Sidewalk Incentive Plan is here to help property owners make it happen! This program provides financial assistance to homeowners and businesses for repairing or installing sidewalks, ensuring our community remains accessible, safe, and inviting for everyone.
Why Invest in Sidewalks?
Sidewalks play a vital role in connecting our community, encouraging outdoor activity, and providing safe routes for pedestrians, especially children and seniors. By improving our sidewalks, we create a more walkable and family-friendly Sedgwick while increasing property values and neighborhood appeal. The city will cover 50% of all approved sidewalk repairs and installation costs.
