This Economic Development Administration (EDA) Project Grant award of $370,893 funds road improvements on 2.2 miles of County Highway 251 in Pike County, Missouri. The project will upgrade the existing roadway to full-depth asphalt, widen the roadway to 24 feet, replace four culverts to improve drainage, and realign a curve to conform to current safety standards. This infrastructure enhancement will provide a reliable detour route during flooding, improving business resiliency, promoting employment, and strengthening the regional economy. The project is funded through the EDA's Economic Adjustment Assistance (CFDA 11.307) program, which provides technical, planning, and public works assistance to regions experiencing adverse economic changes. The award recipient is the County of Pike, which is leveraging this EDA grant funding along with other federal and state transportation grants to deliver this critical flood mitigation project.
