Kossuth County adopts FY27 secondary road budget and five‑year construction program
Loading...
Summary
The Board approved the FY27 Iowa DOT secondary roads budget and a five‑year construction program outlining major resurfacing and bridge projects, with projected receipts of $17,541,647 and prioritized projects across the county.
The Kossuth County Board adopted the Iowa DOT FY27 secondary road budget and the accompanying five‑year construction program after a presentation from the county engineer.
The engineer said the county plans to account for total receipts of $17,541,647.21 in the secondary roads fund, with planned expenditures and an ending balance consistent with that total. The five‑year construction program lists multiple resurfacing and bridge replacement projects funded by a mix of farm‑to‑market, federal aid, urban renewal and local dollars. Highlighted FY27 projects included resurfacing and farm‑to‑market priorities in the north end of the county and a federally‑funded bridge replacement estimated in the low millions.
Board members discussed program prioritization and whether all listed projects would be funded in the five‑year window; the engineer said funding limits would push some projects into later years and recommended prioritization during annual budgeting. Supervisor Jarman moved to approve the FY27 budget and program; the motion passed on voice/roll call vote.
Next steps: the road department will advance design and procurement for high‑priority projects and return with updates or contract actions as needed.
