Paula Huizenga, Grants Program Engineer 773-6253 The South Dakota Department of Transportation has developed a grant program to foster economic development and enhance community access in South dakota. The program has three categorical purposes. The Industrial Park grants will be made to any local unit of government for the development of new or expanded access for new industry located within industrial parks. The Agri-Business grants will be made to any local unit of government for the development of new or expanded agri-business industries. This program provides for 60% of the construction costs of the project, not including engineering or utility work. Community Access Grants are state funds for towns less then 5,000 in population and are for the construction or reconstruction of major streets in each town such as Main Street, the road to the elevator, schools, hospitals, etc. This program provides for 60% of the construction costs of the project, not including engineering or utility work. Applications are usually due by august 1st of each year. The program is funded at $1,500,000 per year. Grant size is limited to $400,000. All grants will be based on the criteria developed by the Department of Transportation. The expenditure authority for the program will be determined by the Transportation Commission at their May meeting for the next Federal fiscal year. All grants must be approved by the Transportation Commission, and may be used to construct or reconstruct roads and streets in the community. All aspects of these grant programs are outlined in the Fact Sheets and Policies for Industrial Park, Agri-Business Access, and Community Access Grant Programs. - Community Access Road Grant Fact Sheet - Adobe PDF - Agri-Business Road Grant Fact Sheet - Adobe PDF - Industrial Park Road Grants Fact Sheet - Adobe PDF - Industrial Park, Agri-Business Access, & Community Access Grant Program Guide and Application Form - Adobe PDF |
