Citizens have noticed activity on Skubitz Plaza,  west and south of Fort Scott National Historic Site.

Radell Construction, Pittsburg,  is running trenches underneath Skutbitz Plaza for CrawKan Telephone, to the FSNHS, according to Jill Jaworski, Superintendent of FSNHS.

“This is to improve connectivity to the Fort,” she said.

They were hoping to get the trenching done before the Fort Scott Splash Pad project begins.

The piles of dirt are for that project.

“The dirt is to level the ground for the splash pad,” Josh Jones, who is part of the Fort Scott Splash Pad and Sensory Park committee.

That project is expected to be started next week, he said.
