The North Carolina Department of Transportation received a $635,676 Formula Grant award from the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration on March 3, 2022. The grant funding will support the Safe Route to School-North Topsail Beach project in Pender County, North Carolina. Specifically, the project involves constructing sidewalks and other pedestrian infrastructure along State Routes 1563 and 1565 to provide safer access to North Topsail Elementary School. The infrastructure improvements will be constructed on sections of road serving the school, including Sloop Point Loop Road and Country Club Road. This award is part of the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205), which provides Federal assistance to States to construct, preserve, and improve the National Highway System, including Federal-aid highways eligible for funding under Title 23 and bridges not on Federal-aid highways.
