Report from DOT

In November of 2012, some meetings were held by DOT and the western counties leadership to discuss the status of some projects and also how to redistribute any unused funds if that should happen.

At that time, the counties in the south region were going to use all of their funds so no-re-allocation will be required.  That still holds true at this time (May 2013).

At that time as well, there were going to be several counties in the north region that weren’t going to use their funds due under-runs on projects or lower bid amounts than were estimated and several that needed additional funds.  Provided below is the dollar values that were moved from one county to another, based on those discussions in November 2012 and data supplied by those counties.
