The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Ohio Department of Transportation $397,500 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 23, 2025, to conduct a feasibility study identifying preferred alternatives for improvements along High Street in the Village of Hanover, Ohio. This formula grant, scheduled for completion by September 1, 2027, supports the planning and preliminary engineering services eligible under the program, which assists states in developing transportation infrastructure improvements. The feasibility study will evaluate various options to inform infrastructure decisions for the High Street corridor, leveraging federal transportation planning resources to support local community needs.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is administering the award and has sub-awarded a portion of the funding to the Village of Hanover as of September 25, 2025, for continued study and analysis work. This sub-award structure reflects the typical pass-through funding model utilized by state departments of transportation to support locally-prioritized transportation planning projects. The feasibility study deliverables will provide critical planning documentation to guide future capital investment decisions for the High Street corridor improvement project.
