 SCDOT Awarded $9.2 million in Grants from FHWA web posted August 18, 2011 COLUMBIA – The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) has been awarded $9.2 million in grants from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for 11 projects across South Carolina, and one locally Hamilton State Recreation Area at Clarks Hill tops the list with a $2.5 million grant. South Carolina received funding for the following projects:
A complete state-by-state list of this year's grant recipients is available online at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/pressroom/fhwa1137/. U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on Wednesday announced $417.3 million in grants to fund an array of efforts ranging from interstate maintenance to research into innovative bridge materials and construction methods across the country. FHWA invited states to apply in June for federal funding from 14 grant programs. Requests from every state, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. – more than 1,800 applications, totaling nearly $13 billion, which is more than 30 times the funds available. Congress
created
the discretionary grant programs to give FHWA the latitude to
support projects that maintain the nation’s roads and bridges, improve
roadway safety and make communities more livable. In previous years,
Congress designated some of this grant money for specific projects and
FHWA awarded the remainder through a competitive process. Because the
FY11 budget passed by Congress last April directed that all such funds
be discretionary, FHWA awarded these funds through a competitive
process. © Copyright 2011 All material is property of
