title
Request by the Commissioner of Precinct 4 for approval to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation for grant funds in the amount of $1,000,000, with no required match, for the FY 2026 Innovative Finance and Asset Concession Grant Program-Westgreen Boulevard Corridor Alternative Delivery Viability Study.
end
Background and Discussion:
The U.S. Department of Transportation released the NOFO for the Innovative Finance Asset and Concession Grant Program. The program seeks to leverage public and private funding. USDOT intends to make available approximately $46,000,000 in funds associated with FY 2024-26.
Expected Impact:
Westgreen Boulevard between Raintree Village Drive and FM 529 is a missing key Major Thoroughfare link within Precinct 4. The corridor will be assessed to determine if alternative delivery models are viable and develop a plan for the project. Implementing this project will improve roadway connectivity for area residents by removing traffic conflicts occurring along local roadways.
Alternative Options: To not apply for the grant for funding to study an improvement for local transportation and safety.
County Strategic Plan Goal: 2. Connect our community with safe, reliable, equitably distributed, and well-maintained infrastructure.
