More Stimulus Money for SKIA Connector Road Coming?
March 10th, 2010 by Rachel PritchettHi Bloggers,
Work soon will resume on the so-called cross-SKIA connector road, which eventually will run from Highway 3 around the north end of the Bremerton National Airport, then south to Lake Flora and Old Clifton Roads.
A pause on the work was taken over the winter, but Port of Bremerton staff are out today installing signs thanking stimulus funds.
Speaking of stimulus funds, port commission President Bill Mahan, the port’s own version of Norm Dicks when it comes to securing federal funds, says there’s a good chance the port will receive more funds in a second round of stimulus funds. That would enable the port to build the next portion of the road.
He’s thinking about an additional $5 million.
Stay tuned; Mahan thinks he’ll hear in the next 30 days.
Once completed, the road would open up the expansive South Kitsap Industrial Area to development, but of course would eventually squeeze out Bremerton MotorParks Speedway.
They should come up with a better name.
