City of Shelbyville to request federal funds for North Riley corridor project

A corridor project on North State Road 9 would provide a new-look gateway to Shelbyville from the north.

 

The Shelbyville Common Council heard a second presentation from Taylor Siefker Williams design group and VS Engineering regarding the city’s planned LPA grant application to seek federal funds for the project.

 

The approximately $11.7 million project would involve just under $8 million in federal funds with just under $4 million from the city.

 

City Planning and Building Director Adam Rude says some of the numbers in Monday’s presentation are estimates

 

 

Mayor Tom DeBaun compared the project to what Franklin did on its entryway from I-65 toward the city.  Milling and overlay will be a part of the project.

Funds received from the state as part of the relinquishment of the roadway to the city will also aid the city’s funding.

 

 

The mayor said discussions of the design, including a roundabout, involved talks with Knauf representatives.

 

 

The submittal deadline for grant funding is December 11.  The project could go to construction in 2025.
