Commissioners approve county share to accelerate Kramer Lane project in Wylie
Summary
The court approved moving roughly $3.7 million in county funds to cover the county share of engineering, right-of-way and design for Kramer Lane to support two new schools, with federal funds expected to cover most construction costs.
The court approved county participation in Kramer Lane, a transportation project in the Wylie area tied to two new schools. Staff explained the City of Wylie secured about $23 million in federal funds through the Council of Governments and asked the county to front its share for engineering, right-of-way and design so the project can move faster. The county's portion for the immediate work was presented as roughly $3.7 million.
Judge Hill and commissioners discussed that the county would front local funds for the engineering and right-of-way and allow federal construction funds to be applied later, keeping the same percentage split. The court voted to approve the funding transfer and to let staff finalize interlocal agreements and project paperwork.
"We will front our money and the city will do the same and let the federal government come in on the backside," staff told the court, and the motion carried after a second.
