Description

Primary and secondary system highway projects undertaken by counties. Grants counties carrying out construction projects under 33.1-75.3 the same power to enter property to survey transportation projects granted the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner. The bill also provides that (i) any county without an existing franchise agreement shall have the same authority as the Department pertaining to the relocation of utilities and (ii) whenever so requested by any county, funding of any project may be supplemented solely by state funds to avoid complying with additional federal requirements, provided that a determination has been made by the Department that adequate state funds are available to fully match federal funds and the Department can meet its federal obligation authority. Amends § 33.1-75.3 (“Construction and improvement of primary or secondary highways by counties.”), of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
