Lake County Commissioners will discuss what project will be best suited to take advantage of stimulus funding Tuesday.
County Highway Superintendent Scott Mathison will discuss potential projects at 9:15 a.m. Lake County will get $94,289 in additional Surface Transportation Program (STP) funds as a result of the federal stimulus plan. Each year, counties gets a set allocation of STP funds that can be used for highway projects, but those projects must first undergo a two-year environmental study.
Mathison told commissioners March 3 that a highway project would have to be approved by resolution by April 3 if the county wanted the project to take place in 2011. Resolutions after April 3, he said, would be slated for 2012.
Additionally, commissioners will discuss and award bids for highway materials as it relates to 2009 highway projects.
