Members of a legislative budget committee got a broad overview of the 2024 recommended State Highway Plan Monday. It came through testimony of top officials in the Transportation Cabinet. The plan includes more than $7 billion in federal money and almost a billion in state funds over the next six years. Deputy Transportation Secretary Mike Hancock said cost increases across the plan mean relatively few new projects are included.
“I was asked a few weeks ago if I thought we were slower about the development of projects. We are not. If there any slowness in anything, it’s trying to make sure we have the dollars available to do the work that we need to do,” said Hancock.
