JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Department of Transportation has designated all of its federal stimulus funds a month before the deadline.
State transportation departments are required to commit funds to specific projects by March 2 or risk losing the money. Spokeswoman Sally Oxenhandler said Monday that Missouri could potentially get more money if other states miss the deadline.
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has awarded 187 stimulus projects totaling almost $470 million. The projects range from repaving roads to replacing the Osage River Bridge near Tuscumbia in mid-Missouri.
