INDUSTRIAL ACCESS ROAD PROGRAM


PURPOSE:


To encourage and assist local efforts toward industrial development by providing funds for the constriction or improvement of direct access facilities to specific industrial operations or to officially designated industrial areas wherein industrial operations are underway and expanding or have been committed on a specific time schedule.


FUNCTION:


To provide assistance to local industrial development efforts by funding, within practical limitations, access facilities connecting a specific industry or industrial area directly to the state highway system or local road system.

2. Magnitude of the industrial operation, present and potential.

3. Existing access serving the industrial area.

4. Project must be exclusively on public right-of-way.

5. Right-of-way and utility relocations is the responsibility of the applicant.

6. Maintenance of project will be responsibility of the local government entity.

7. Projects are reviewed on a statewide basis.

8. Funding is limited.


APPLICATION:


1. An official request from the local unit of government having jurisdiction over the road. The local unit of government must have the authority to sign an agreement with the Department assuming maintenance of the road upon completion of the project.


2. Description of economic impact of the business or businesses the proposed road will serve. (Number of employees, payrolls, investment in the facility, etc.).


3. Some indication of local participation in the project. Normally the local government entity will provide the grading and drainage and Industrial Access Funds will be used to provide for the surface.
