State Issue 1 funding cycle begins

-
The State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP), better known as the State Issue 1 Program, the Small Governments Capital Improvement Program, and the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) are beginning their Round 25 funding cycles. Through these programs, financial assistance for public infrastructure projects is available to subdivisions in District 15, which includes the following southern Ohio counties: Adams, Brown, Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto, and Vinton.
Counties, cities, villages, townships, and certain special water and sewer districts may submit applications for funding. Eligible projects include the construction, repair, or replacement of roads, bridges,
and culverts, along with water, wastewater, and stormwater systems.
Financial assistance is available in the form of grants, no-interest loans, and loan assistance (payment of interest on loans from other funding sources for a 2-year period). The programs are competitive, as projects compete for funding with each other for a set allocation of funds. Each project is scored using an objective rating system, and funds are awarded on the basis of those scores.
Subdivisions applying for Round 25 funds should begin the planning process as soon as possible. The deadline to submit completed applications to the respective county is Oct. 1, 2010.
For more information on the programs or to receive application materials, contact your county engineer, your county commissioners or call the Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) at 1-800-223-7491.[[In-content Ad]]
