The council also passed a resolution agreeing to pay any costs of resurfacing Norton Avenue beyond the $669,000 covered by a state grant.
The estimated cost is $1,020,800, so if the project is on budget, the cost to Norton Shores would be $351,800.
Only half of Norton Avenue would be reconstructed this year, with the other half repaired next year, City Manager Mark Meyers said.
The cost of working on both sides at once would strain the city’s budget, he said.
“We phase it over two years instead of one year to be able to budget for it,” he said.
