Braselton will use its grant for a streetscape project on State Route 53 through downtown. Demorest will use its $500,000 for a "pedestrian network" streetscape project in the U.S. 441/Central Avenue/Georgia Street area.
The grants come from DOT's Transportation Enhancement (TE) program for Fiscal Year 2008 & Fiscal Year 2009.
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 Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act
