RE: Revenue Sharing Application Public Hearing
DATE: November 6, 2012
This is a public hearing item whereby staff is seeking resolution from the Board of Supervisors
to proceed with application for revenue sharing funds for road improvements within the Russell
150 Project. Please find the draft resolution attached.
The Project, while being part of County Planning for some time, would be a new project for
VDOT consideration. The roadway construction being funded would be the continuation of
Airport Road heading west onto the Russell 150 property to the planned intersection with future
Warrior Drive, the intersection of Airport Road and Warrior Drive, and Warrior Drive northward
from that intersection to an intersection with the Tevis Street extension and bridge. It is expected
that, in order for this project to move forward, we will match these funds with private funds.
Staff is preparing an application for $2,800,000.00 in revenue sharing dollars from VDOT with a
$2,800,000.00 local match for a total project of $5,600,000.00. Staff is advising that the County
offer to manage these projects.
As a matter of information, while these roadways currently have no state funds applied to them,
we did receive an award of $4,545,702.00 in state funds last year to be applied toward
construction of the Tevis Street extension and bridge over 1 -81. Staff is currently in talks with
private partners who will be providing the matching funds to move this phase of the project
forward.

3. Route 522 South Study
Staff presented the Committee with the resolution passed by the Board of Supervisors
regarding the Route 522 south study, as well as some of the history surrounding the planned
realignment of that roadway. Staff also informed the Committee that VDOT has already
funded an interchange modification study for Exit 313 that will effectively cover all of the
key issues that the Board would like to have studied. VDOT staff was present and was
supportive of this while confirming that Frederick County would be provided an active seat
at the table as the study was scoped and conducted.
Mr. Racey made a motion to recommend the Board follow the staff recommendation and
the motion was seconded by Mr. Grigsby.
Motion passed unanimously.

for the following projects:
Russell 150 Roadways - $5.8 M
Valley Mill Road (supplemental) - $500 K
