Through GOMESA funding the engineering and design team will be completing a full design and permitting of a multi-phased project. Project activities completed to date include 30% design, design phase alternatives analysis, modeling, and field investigations to inform full design parameters and borrow areas. The permitting process will commence in the fall of 2024. Funding opportunities for construction are being actively explored by the Town and ADCNR.
