Revitalize Russell has made the necessary decision to postpone the build of the Downtown Restroom/Visitors Center. It is important to note, the project is still underway but the timeline will look a little different. While our original goal was to have the facility up and running prior to Prairiesta, we have come to the realization this goal is no longer obtainable. Market prices and an increase in material production time have contributed to this decision.

The committee is confident the decision is in the best interest of the project. Moving forward we plan to continue our fundraising efforts with added promotion on site during Prairiesta. The timeline for bidding will be reassessed as well as the deadline for the project build. The committee looks forward to the future of this project.

If interested, you can still donate to the project, all donations are tax deductible. Please send donations to Russell Main Street, Inc. 207 E. 8th Street, Russell, KS 67665. Checks made payable to Russell Pride Inc.
