Austell powder springs road @ marietta street - scoping only

Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

On June 27, 2025, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) obligated $128,546.07 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) Division of Intermodal for scoping activities at the Austell Powder Springs Road and Marietta Street intersection in Georgia. The scoping phase represents preliminary planning and analysis work necessary to evaluate and define the scope of a potential transportation infrastructure project at this location. GDOT, serving as the prime recipient, subsequently awarded a sub-grant to the City of Powder Springs on June 26, 2025, enabling the local municipality to participate in and support the scoping activities for this roadway improvement initiative.

Under the Highway Planning and Construction program, which supports comprehensive transportation infrastructure development and improvement across the United States, scoping activities typically involve preliminary engineering, environmental review, feasibility assessment, and project definition work. These foundational planning services establish the basis for subsequent project phases and determine the viability and scope of proposed highway improvements. The funding mechanism reflects the federal-aid highway program's structure, wherein FHWA provides financial assistance to state departments of transportation that then administer projects in coordination with local governments and metropolitan planning organizations, consistent with state and local transportation priorities.
