PRELIMINARY I INITIAL Ri t-o ® activity on your project.
Your community's project has been included in the MaineDOT 2021-22-23 Capital Work
Plan, pending final authorization of federal funds. MaineDOT has currently programmed
up to $22,400.00 in federal highway safety funding for design and construction work on
the project, contingent upon the minimum required local match of . The funding
amounts approved were based on preliminary estimates for those improvements
identified as part of MaineDOT's discussion with the community during the Heads Up
Pedestrian Safety Project process — though after review, MaineDOT may have adjusted
the amounts.
Projects funded for Design and ROW Onlyare considered "approved projects," so your
community will not need to reapply for construction funding once the project has moved
through design and permitting and is ready for construction. However, future funding for
construction will be contingent upon:
