A check for $500,000 in federal funding was hand-delivered today by Rep. John Carter towards widening and construction of new intersections on FM 1431 between US 183-A to CR 185. The improvements are needed due to the increased traffic from the US 183-A toll road and a new shopping center and hospital at the interchange.
The projected cost of the enhancement project is $8 million. The $500,000 presented to the city today, an earmark from the of 2008 Omnibus Spending Package, plus another million from an approved bond package, will be used for engineering and design costs.
