Impact analysis
About $3.15 million in SB 1 funds available for FY 2026-27 projects, plus a proposed $1.9 million redirection that could leverage a $9.5 million federal safety grant.
Drivers on county roads — especially users of Wright, McCloskey, Fallon and Fairview roads if the proposed projects proceed.
If projects are suspended to fund the grant match, communities waiting on those road projects could see delays.
