Palmer/Quarry Rd. Wins ARRA Dollars

The East-West Gateway Council of Governments decided today to award $350,000 to the City of Columbia for improvement of Palmer/Quarry Rd. from DD Rd. to Ghent--one part of the $58 million in federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to 75 transportation projects across the St. Louis region.

The decision was made during a board meeting today at the agency's headquarters in St. Louis. Columbia Mayor Kevin Hutchinson represents the city on the board, and participated in today's meeting.

City Engineer Ron Williams reports that the project has been designed and is ready to go, and he expects that work will begin within ninety days.
