The draft <br /> document can be found at this link: https://connect.ncdot.gov/projects/planning/STIP <br /> Documentsl/Draft%202017-2027%2OSTIP.pdf. This action represents the penultimate <br /> step in the SPOT Prioritization 4.0 (P4.0) process. <br /> Orange County Division Needs Tier Projects <br /> The Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), the <br /> Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO), and the Burlington-Graham <br /> Metropolitan Planning Organization (B-G MPO) project priority lists all included projects <br /> eligible for funding in the Division Needs funding tier of the SPOT prioritization process <br /> P4.0. Of these projects, the Orange Grove Road Extension Project from Orange Grove <br /> Road to US 70A project in Hillsborough and the NC 54 Operational Improvements <br /> Project from Orange Grove Road to Old Fayetteville Road project west of Carrboro <br /> were selected for inclusion in the 2017-2027 STIP. Attachment 1 provides a complete <br /> overview of projects in Orange County. Projects receiving funding have been noted with red <br /> shading in the flow chart. Overall, a total of five projects (the improvements at NC 54 and <br /> Orange Grove Road project was folded into the NC 54 operational improvements project in <br /> the draft 2017-2027 STIP) out of 28 proposed projects were funded in Orange County. <br /> Next Steps <br /> The NCDOT will continue to make revisions to the draft 2017-2027 STIP before final <br /> adoption by the NCDOT Board of Transportation in summer 2017. This concludes the P4.0 <br /> process. The P5.0 process will begin in summer 2017 with a public process to create a <br /> base list of projects for submittal to the MPO and ultimately to the next prioritization process <br /> for the 2019-2029 STIP. <br />
