What sources of funds are available for street projects?

The City utilizes a variety of funding sources including Federal Funds, Municipal State Aid (MSA) Funds, and local funds. Federal and MSA funds can only be spent on minor arterial and collector streets. The City uses these funds to offset or reduce special assessments and/or property tax funds spend on street projects. MSA funds are also used as a local match (20%) for Federal appropriations (80%) for larger projects with citywide benefits. Local funds include City-wide property tax collections and special assessments to properties in the benefiting areas.
