Kootenai County Economic Stimulus Proposed Projects List

Filed Under Government, Kootenai County 

The Kootenai Metropolitan Planning Organization blog has recently posted a list of transportation/infrastructure projects that could be ready within 180 days should president-elect Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package pass. Currently this is only a draft list of possible projects.

KMPO has been working with Kootenai County agencies involved in transportation on a list of projects to submit for possible stimulus funding. At this time, we don’t have specific numbers on how much money would come into the area through this package if passed, nor do we know the federal requirements, or the timeline involved. If the stimulus package is passed, we cannot guarantee that the proposed projects will be constructed. The only thing we do know for sure is that this is a draft list and the projects included need to be considered ‘shovel ready,’ meaning they can be ready for construction within 90 to 180 days.

The proposed project list consists of roadway projects only at this time. KMPO’s Public Transportation Roundtable committee has been asked to submit transit projects as well, which will be added to the list.
