Commission approves local match and forms for 411 Corridor planning grant
Summary
County engineer described a $5,000,000 planning budget for the 411 Corridor and requested a local 10% match; Moody's agreed to $250,000 toward the match and the commission authorized required federal forms and signatures to pursue the grant.
The county engineer asked the commission to approve local matching funds and paperwork to pursue a planning grant for the 411 Corridor, a multi-phase project that would extend from the Moody Crossroads/Park Avenue intersection toward the Route 40 intersection. The engineer said the planning segment budget is about $5,000,000 and the county needs a 10% match.
"The the budget number that we have right now, is basically 5,000,000 for this," the engineer said. He told commissioners Moody's has agreed to contribute $250,000 toward the match (about 5%) and asked for approval to sign federal certification forms and other paperwork required for grant applications. Commissioners moved and approved the request and authorized the chairman to sign certification forms as needed.
The engineer and commissioners discussed larger cost estimates for full corridor planning and construction, which the transcript places in a range above $90 million to $120 million for the entire corridor. Staff said the county plans to break the project into phases and focus first on planning for an initial phase.
