Manhattan City Commissioners unanimously authorized contract amendments Tuesday for infrastructure improvements tied to the ongoing Midtown Aggieville project.

The city expanded the scope of the project in December, to include a new hotel and parking garage in addition to Back 9 Development’s new multi-use project. That has increased the pricetag for design and construction management with the city’s two hired firms — Olsson and BHS Construction.

Deputy City Manager Jason Hilgers says the funds will support additional infrastructure improvements in the nearby alleys.

Mayor Wynn Butler says it’s a good plan.

Construction in that area will resume in April.
