Part of the city's plan included leveling a portion of the streetscape in front of the federal courthouse building along Water Street between Market and Princess streets, which according to the city, is about 150 feet long.
"A goal of the city's was to make the area along water street all one level," Saffo said, "so when we have concerts here it will be all one level ... people will have wheelchair accessibility -- ADA requirements that are necessary -- but it will just make it a more comfortable park, a much more user-friendly park and its something I think we'll be very proud of."
Rouzer said the funds are going to help the city near its completion of those plans, adding, "I think that's why the mayor and city council are so excited about it. They put a lot of money, a lot of effort toward revitalizing the downtown here -- right here on the waterfront -- but you can't have a complete project without restoring the bulkhead."
Correction: This story has been corrected to reflect the total area of the leveled streetscape.
