Richard Shelby: “the committee is aware that States have prefinanced construction projects authorized under the Appalachian highway…”

On the recordJuly 29, 1997
the committee is aware that States have prefinanced construction projects authorized under the Appalachian highway program are reimbursed at 70 percent Federal share, while those States expending funds for the new mileage receive an 80-percent Federal share. The committee recognizes that this provision treats those States that have taken the initiative to prefinance these needed road projects differently and urges the appropriate authorizing committee to consider correcting this funding inequity over the period during which funds are made available to complete the ADHS.
