Prior to the Public Meeting, PENNDOT and the Project Team held a meeting with the local public officials. The purpose of the meeting was for PENNDOT to present the preliminary alternatives, provide an overview of the project status, and answer questions. Questions and topics of discussion included: A: The cost of right-of-way acquisition not yet been determined. It will be calculated based on a cost per mile, to be  |
estimated by PENNDOT's right-of-way section, during the Phase 2 studies. Q: How is it decided which alternatives
will be carried through the detailed study phase? Q: It has been recommended that Corridor
A not be studied in detail. Can that alternative still be used in the
future? The majority of the officials concurred with PENNDOT's recommendations to conduct Phase 2 Detailed Alternative Development for Corridors B, C, and D. |
Because agriculture is the major industry in the study area, the study team wants to establish an on-going dialogue with the farming community during the study process. We will meet with groups and/or individual farmers in the coming months in order to obtain information on their operations, and to discuss their desires and concerns for the future. |
See You at the Maple Festival!PENNDOT and the Project Team will be hosting a booth at the Maple Festival, March 9 - 10 and 14 - 17. We will present refinements to Corridors B, C, C-1, and D.
We encourage you to visit us at our booth to offer your suggestions and comments on the alternatives. |

Many people saw the preview about some choices for the highway. When
the evening was over they looked at the questionnaires to find out questions
about this project. All in all, they had a great turn out and a great
meeting!
