Heatherwood Road Infrastructure & Multi-Model Improvements
Funding Requested: $7,000,000
Total Project Cost: $12,500,000
Project Summary:
This project will complete a vital road corridor serving employment related development and reduce reliance of local traffic on Interstate 94 addressing regional congestion concerns. More than 200 acres remain available for further job creation and urban infill development, yet have lagged behind regional market demand given the limited access for suppliers, public safety, and general commerce trips due to the lack of a road connection between the I 94 Business Park and urban core.
