Project Description
Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (DOT&PF) applied for and received a National
Scenic Byways grant for the preparation of a Corridor Partnership Plan (CPP) for
the North Richardson Highway State Scenic Byway between Fairbanks and Fort Greely. As part of this project, a byway
stakeholder group, made up of local community representatives and interested parties, will be identified and formed. The stakeholder group
and DOT&PF will work closely to prepare the Corridor Partnership Plan (CPP).
The purpose of this website is to distribute project documents and keep stakeholders up to speed with the status
of the CPP development.
The CPP will include a vision statement for the Byway as well as goals and strategies for implementation. One advantage
to completing a CPP is that it enables public and non-profit organizations along
the corridor to solicit National Scenic Byway Grant funds for projects directly related to
the Byway. A CPP also enables local residents to pursue designation as an "America's Byway" when and if
there is strong local support. |
