Transportation and environmental infrastructure projects

November 20, 2009

Last Monday, Governor Sonny Perdue announced $65.8 million in transportation projects that will be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The complete list of projects can be found on the GDOT's stimulus website.

On Tuesday, Governor Perdue also announced that seven more environmental infrastructure project loans had been approved by the board of the Georgia Environmental Facilities Authority. Five of the projects were funded totally or in part by funds from the ARRA. After the ARRA was passed by Congress, GEFA adopted terms of financing that offer counties that qualify as One-Georgia eligible a 70 percent subsidy and other counties a 40 percent subsidy.
