Plant 1 Restoration Project
The original building was constructed in 1936 with a few additions throughout the years. Over these years, minimal maintenance was conducted to keep the structure sound and painting was completed to keep it looking good.

In 2006, a major road construction project opened up the area surrounding the power plant, making it a major attraction when entering Hutchinson. The Hutchinson Utilities Commission authorized a multi-year project to improve the appearance of the power plant and surrounding area.

The first phase was to improve the appearance of the building. Cleaning the exterior and tuck-pointing joints was accomplished along with painting, window replacement and a new brick facade to the main entrance.

The second phase will consist of landscaping; including plantings, decorative concrete piers, steel fencing and monumental signs on the north and west side of the building.

The final phase will include more landscaping as well as storm water management ponds which will be added on the south and east sides of the building. A trail connection from Highway 15 to the existing trail by the river will be constructed and the parking areas on the east and south will be resurfaced.
