Supervisors Session Focuses on Ground & Air Transportation
by Joe Pyritz | Pinal County
The Pinal County Board of Supervisors (BOS) heard the recommended five-year plan for roadways in Pinal County. These construction, improvement or maintenance projects are funded by a voter approved half-cent transportation Excise Tax
The recommendation for these projects comes from the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC), a ten-member panel of residents chosen by the Board of Supervisors. There are three public meetings held in September, November and February, where the TAC will consider comments and recommendations made to the BOS.
For the five-year plan (2019-2023), there are actually 94 projects, totaling $45.9 million dollars. The Supervisors were pleased to see the list of projects increasing, thanks to the money collected from the excise tax and the participation from the public.
