Background:GDOT restructured its State Aid Program and named it as “Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG).” LMIG is a formula-based grant from GDOT that is funded through the motor fuel tax. Grant funds are typically used to supplement local projects for road/drainage improvements and road resurfacing efforts based on priority. Augusta is eligible to receive approximately $2.18 million through GDOT FY2018 LMIG Program. Analysis:GDOT LMIG financial assistance is critical for completing AED projects such as roadway improvements and maintenance construction projects. This financial assistance is available on yearly basis. In addition to this yearly assistance, GDOT also provides LMIG funds to AED on as requested basis depending on LMIG additional funds availability on state level, demonstrated need and local project connectivity to state road system. Financial Impact:City of Augusta AED will receive approximately $2.18 million in 2018. A local funding match of 10% is required. FY2018 LMIG proposed Allocation:Olive Road Resurfacing – $1.5M; Windsor Spring Road Sidewalk (between Tobacco Rd and Cross Creek) - $0.5M; Milledgeville at North Leg Roundabout $0.4M.
