“Enhancement” funds to help communities
FRANKFORT, Ky. - Governor Paul Patton
today announced more than $5 million for 32 Federal Transportation Enhancement
grants aimed at providing funds for non-traditional transportation projects that
enhance the state’s roadsides.
“Our
highways not only provide our citizens with a safe method of transportation, but
they are also a part of the landscape of our communities,” Patton said.
“The Transportation Enhancement Funds provide us with a method of enhancing
the beauty of our roadsides and our state.”
The
Transportation Cabinet administers the TEA-21 program and has provided more than
$94 million to approximately 280 enhancement projects. Some of the funding goes
to support Renaissance Kentucky communities. The current funded programs
range from the Springfield Opera House to the McLean County Civil War
Battlefield.
The
32 projects include:
