While State Aid dollars are typically used for current or present <br />transportation projects, we do have some instances where parcels are purchased in advance of a road project. For <br />example, in the case of a rural alignment through newly planted crop land, the landowner may sell rights while being <br />allowed to harvest the crop prior to the road construction. Your case is somewhat similar, but does have some unique <br />differences. My suggestion would be to proceed with a right of way plan and submit for State Aid approval. This way <br />we can determine right of way eligibility. My hope would be that any proceeds from leased property between the time <br />of city purchase and demolition could be worked back into the project for such things as non eligible State Aid elements <br />or local share in lieu of State Aid participation. We look forward to your submittal of a right of way plan and future <br />construction plan. <br />Greg M.
