The Hutchinson City Council approved awarding a contract Tuesday to develop an access point to the Arkansas River just of Fourth Avenue, near the old Fun Valley waterslide. The project will include creating a paved road and parking lot, and installing a set of railroad tie steps down to a sandbar on the river. The council awarded the contract to Ward Davis Builders Inc. of Hutchinson for $76,775. A state grant will cover $20,000 of the cost.
