Missouri Governor Mike Parson has announced that the City of West Plains will get a $1.2 million grant to help connect access roads from U.S 63 to Ozarks Medical Center. The Improvement will include a break in access connecting 63 to west Fifth Street and an Eighth Street connector to Extend Tio street to west Eighth Street. City officials say that $4 is needed to fund the improvements. In October an application was submitted for $2.4 million of that total. The city worked with the Missouri Department of Transportation and the South Central Ozarks Council of Governments on the grant application. The Missouri Department of Transportation’s Cost-Share Committee reviewed 48 applications requesting more than $92 million to deliver $321 million in projects. The committee selected 20 projects to receive $50 million which was appropriated by the General Assembly for Parson’s cost-share program.
The program matches up to 50% of the construction contract costs for the selected projects.
The selected projects will be presented to the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for approval in January.
