Downtown Findlay Main Street Alley Project

The following information is from the City of Findlay’s engineering  department regarding the upcoming reconstruction of Downtown Findlay Main Street alleys. The City of Findlay would like to stress that this construction will not close anyone off to their home or business for an extended period of time, unless it is deemed unsafe to pass. The intention is to perform most of the work without unnecessary distractions to local businesses or homes. If at any time you have limited access to your home or business, the City of Findlay can assist you in making special arrangements to accommodate any inconveniences.  Contact information is listed below.
