G street sidewalk improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded the Virginia Department of Transportation a Formula Grant of $769,430.00 under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on September 9, 2025, to fund pedestrian infrastructure improvements in Purcellville, Virginia. The grant supports the installation of a missing sidewalk section along East G Street, extending from East E Street to 604 G Street, addressing a gap in the existing pedestrian network within the project corridor between South 12th Street and 350 feet east of South 11th Street. This project falls within eligible activities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which authorizes federal funds for pedestrian and bicycle facilities that enhance multimodal transportation connectivity.

The Town of Purcellville served as the sub-grantee responsible for implementing the sidewalk improvements project, with an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2029. The Formula Grant funding mechanism distributes federal-aid highway resources to states on an annual basis through statutory formula allocations, with state departments of transportation generally selecting and administering projects in coordination with local priorities and planning processes. The project addresses a critical gap in pedestrian infrastructure and aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's comprehensive mandate to support highway preservation, safety improvements, and multimodal transportation network development across the United States.
