RE: Resolution of Support for Economic Development Access Application for
Alban Tractor
Attached for your review and comments is a draft Resolution of Support for Alban
Tractor's Application for Economic Development Access funds.
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) administrates the Economic
Development Access Program. This program assists localities in providing adequate road
access to new and expanding manufacturing and processing companies, research and
.development facilities, distribution centers, regional service centers, corporate headquarters
or other basic employers.
The maximum award for an economic development access road is $300,000. However, the
state will fund an additional $ 1 50,000 if the amount is matched on adollar- for - dollar basis
from sources other than the Department of Transportation. The amount of the award is
limited by the eligible capital investment of the company and the estimated cost of the
access road.
Based on the approved road plans, VDOT's estimates $226,000 will be required to
complete the work, including contingencies and CEI. This would include the surface asphalt,
shoulder work, 675' of paved ditch, guardrail, fine grading, and seeding.
I would like to request that the resolution be placed on the agenda at the next BOS
meeting.
Thanks for your help. I am available if you have any questions or comments on these
materials for this project.
Your Move. Qur Commitment.
