NCDOT, in compliance with NCGS 136-44.8, has posted in the <br />county courthouse a county map showing tentative secondary road paving projects and has <br />published notice of the public hearing in county newspapers (the Chapel Hill News, the Mebane <br />Enterprise and The News of Orange). <br />The anticipated 2003 - 2004 allocation for Orange County secondary roads totals $ 1,432,536.50. <br />It includes the following: <br />Paving Rural Unpaved Roads (6 road segments - 8.58 miles) $1,388,000.00 <br />Contingency 44,536.50 <br />Total $1,432,536.50 <br />The anticipated 2003 - 2004 allocation represents an increase of 7.64% from the 2002 - 2003 <br />Orange County Secondary Road Improvement Program allocation. <br />Some previous annual Secondary Road Improvement Programs included Paving <br />Subdivision/Residential Unpaved Roads that were constructed prior to 1975. NCDOT paved the <br />last such road in the 2001 - 2002 Secondary Road Improvement Program, and there are no more <br />roads in that category on the priority list to be paved. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this decision item. <br />
