Part 36 - Industrial Access Program
Section 36.2 - Purpose

The purpose of the industrial access program is to provide State funding for necessary highway and bridge improvements which will facilitate economic development including those that would benefit the agricultural industry. The appropriation for this program will be used in the instance where existing funding programs (local, State, Federal) are either (1) not available or (2) not appropriate due to timing or program constraints. State funding will only be made available where the nature of the project is such that private financing is either (1) not available or (2) not appropriate due to timing or program constraints. The industrial access program is designed to facilitate economic development. Any commitment of funds must be accompanied by a documented commitment of jobs/economic activity intended to result from the State commitment.
