Putnam County approves Transportation Alternatives grant authorization, cites $50,000 local match commitment

The Legislature authorized recommendation for 2025 Department of Transportation Transportation Alternatives (TA) grant funding to support a pedestrian-safety project on a corridor that legislators described as long-troubled. A legislator representing the district said projects "succeed only when government works constructively with our municipal, state and not-for-profit partners" and thanked Supervisor Van Tassel, the Spirit Trust (which committed $50,000 toward the 20% match), municipalities and state partners for helping assemble the funding package.
