County staff seeks federal funding for five transportation projects including US-701 and US-501 work
Summary
County executive staff provided a list of five transportation projects submitted for congressional directed funding, chosen for shovel-ready status and alignment with the county transportation referendum, including US 701 widening and US 501 realignment/widening.
A county staff presenter told the committee that executive leadership identified five projects for US congressional directed funding consideration, prioritizing shovel-ready projects that align with the county transportation referendum. Projects listed included US Highway 701 widening north of Conway, Forest Brook Road widening, US Highway 501 realignment, Highway 501 widening, and the Augusta Plantation interchange.
Staff said most projects fall under the local 'ride' program and that the requested amounts reflect cost escalations since the referendum. Committee members acknowledged the list and the item proceeded as a funding-priorities update for federal consideration.
