Other Funding Opportunities
Rural Addition funding can also be provided by landowners along a prospective roadway.
Revenue Sharing funds can be utilized by the County with match coming from landowners. This funding must be applied for and is limited in the
State. Pursuant to §33.2-357, Code of Virginia, every county, whether or not it has qualifying land development ordinances, may use special revenue sharing funds from its “county primary and secondary road fund” to “bring subdivision streets used as such prior to July 1, 1990, up to standards sufficient to qualify” for state maintenance
The County can issue an assessment on taxes to landowners along the street for up to ½ the cost of the project.
No such special assessment of landowners on such streets shall be made unless the governing body of the county receives written declarations from the owners of 75 percent or more of the platted parcels of land abutting upon such streets stating their acquiescence in such assessments. Slide6
The Process
All landowners must sign the agreement to donate right-of-way.
Our staff must confirm that road is eligible.
The county must prepare an estimate to be given to the Board of Road Viewers. This is a three person board appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
The Road Viewers evaluate the cost benefit ratio and then make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.The Board then submits a request to the Virginia Department of Transportation and they have to verify the aforementioned and approve the project.With clearance from VDOT, the County can then locally administer the design and construction fo
the project or choose to request VDOT to administer.
Design, environmental permitting, and design approval by VDOT.
Bid, award, and construction can begin.
