Magoffin County moves forward with state CPP funds to resurface Patrick Road; county to provide a 10% match
Summary
The fiscal court considered and moved to approve an agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for County Preservation Program funds to resurface Patrick Road; county officials said their allocation was $33,000 and the county must provide a 10% local match.
Magoffin County’s fiscal court considered an agreement with the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Department of Highways to use County Preservation Program (CPP) funds to resurface Patrick Road.
Presiding official (Unidentified Speaker 1) said the state’s redistribution of discretionary road funding left counties with specific CPP allocations rather than large discretionary awards, and that the county’s share for this project is $33,000. The presiding official also said the county falls in a 10% match category and would therefore be responsible for a local match on project costs if the work exceeds the allocation.
Members discussed the state’s grading system used to rank roads and said the county submitted a list of candidate roads (including high-priority nines and tens) to the Transportation Cabinet. The court approved proceeding to contract for the resurfacing work consistent with the state agreement and with the county’s responsibility to provide a 10% local match when required.
The court did not specify exact total project costs beyond the stated allocation and match percentage; officials said they will coordinate with the Transportation Cabinet and prospective contractors to finalize scope, estimates and timelines.
