Commissioners approved a contract of sale with the Pamela S. Evanor trust to acquire right-of-way for a single-lane roundabout at County Line Road and Fancher Road; staff said the project is part of state-funded work connected to Intel and New Albany-area transportation improvements and will be fully reimbursed by the state.
Delaware County commissioners approved on Aug. 18 a contract of sale to purchase additional right-of-way from the Pamela S. Evanor trust needed to construct a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of County Line Road and Fancher Road.
Engineering staff told the board the county reached an agreement with the owner for the necessary property and that the roundabout is one of several projects funded through state grants tied to transportation improvements associated with Intel and New Albany-area technology development. Staff said the state will fully reimburse the county for the cost of the right-of-way and related project expenses.
Rob Bridal, chief deputy engineer, presented the item and commissioners voted unanimously to approve the contract of sale.
What happens next: county staff will finalize acquisition, proceed with the right-of-way transfer, and move forward with the roundabout design and construction under the state reimbursement arrangement.
