| LEGISLATION |
MARC is working with local governments, regional organizations and national coalitions to understand the nature of the federal stimulus legislation and influence how it might be implemented. MARC supports a strong role for local governments and metropolitan planning organizations in planning and implementing any new federal funds.
Creating a project list for the region
One thing we can do now is build a credible list
of potential local government projects. Many local governments have developed
individual lists, which states, metro areas and national organizations
are currently compiling.
MARC has received requests to consolidate potential investments into
a comprehensive projection of the impact of a major infrastructure investment
program in the Kansas City region. This list could help the region advocate
for metro needs at the state and federal levels, and prepare us to move
quickly once a stimulus package is approved.
We ask local governments to enter potential stimulus package projects for their jurisdictions into this online database for the following categories:
- Transportation projects including:
- Streets and roads
- Bridges
- Public transit
- Airports
- Trails
- Public works including:
- Sewers
- Water
- Capital projects to stimulate economic development or serve low-income areas
- Public facility renovations, construction or energy retrofit
