Harrison County courts NET RMA grant application for Lancing Switch road reconstruction
Summary
Road & Bridge recommended, and the court approved, submitting a NET RMA priority-project application to reconstruct Lancing Switch — a roughly 3.8-mile corridor from Highway 80 to County Road 968 — citing high traffic volumes and potential to free county funds for other projects.
Harrison County Road & Bridge staff told commissioners the Lancing Switch reconstruction is their strongest candidate for a NET RMA grant because the roadway serves heavy traffic and meets the grant’s main-fair-through criteria. Staff reported multiple intersections with 11,000–12,000 vehicles per week, roughly 463 properties along the corridor and about $36 million in taxable property value in the area, and recommended the court authorize submission and allow the County Judge to sign award documents if the project is selected.
Commissioners discussed precinct-level priorities and the trade-off of seeking large external funding that could free county dollars for other roads. The court unanimously approved submitting the grant application and authorizing execution of documents if the grant is awarded.
