ATLANTA - Projects in Homer and Forsyth County are included in funding for the latest state Transportation Enhancement (TE) program.
The northeast Georgia list is not complete, as the selections for the 10th Congressional District, including some in northeast Georgia, have not been released yet. Those selections are expected to be released soon.
The TE program is federally-funded and was originally established in 1991 by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA). The program was continued by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) in 1998. The Georgia Department of Transportation's (GDOT) Planning Office manages the TE program in Georgia.
The TE program's goal is to enrich the transportation experience of Georgians through specific types of enhancement projects. The kinds of projects funded by the TE program include multi-use facilities such as walking and biking trails and paths; streetscaping and landscaping projects in cities and towns; historic preservation of transportation-related facilities like railroad depots; and scenic preservation of views and scenic byways.
This year, the Georgia DOT received a total of 338 eligible applications representing combined requests for over $218 million in federal funds from all 13 congressional districts. In this selection round, $52 million in federal funds were available for Federal Fiscal Year 2004-05 to distribute statewide. From the original 338 applications submitted, 127 have been chosen to receive funding.
The projects selected for GDOT District One are:
