KINGMAN, Ariz. – The City of Kingman has successfully completed the third and final phase of its vision to revitalize downtown Kingman! The Kingman Downtown Streetscape Project, which started construction in July 2023, was inspired by similar successful projects in other Arizona downtown areas.

The completion of the project is a source of pride for the City of Kingman, and the community is invited to join in a celebration on Friday, June 7^th at 5:30 p.m. The Kingman City Council, along with staff and community partners, will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the intersection of 4th and Beale Street, followed by a downtown First Friday celebration. A street closure will be in place from 2nd Street to 6th Street to allow all the businesses along the newly designed Beale Street to participate in the fun.

The Kingman Downtown Streetscape Project improves walkability and aesthetics for residents, merchants, and visitors while maintaining our downtown area’s classic, historic character.  This translates into a safe, attractive, comfortable, and complete street that connects bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicle users to several destinations along Beale Street between First Street and Sixth Street with connections to Historic Route 66.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the completion of this project with the community. The team has done a fantastic job with every detail, and the result is truly beautiful. We are grateful for the continuous support we have received throughout the project from the Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce, Kingman Mainstreet, downtown businesses, and the community as a whole,” said Jack Plaunty, Assistant Public Works Director.
