LEWES, DE — Lewes will receive more than $99,000 for development of a corridor management plan for the city’s scenic and historic byway.
The money is part of a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to the Delaware Department of Transportation.
The funds will be used to assist with construction, safety improvements and planning assistance along Delaware highways.
U.S. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons and Rep. John Carney announced the $1.3 grant award Aug. 19.
“These grants will promote innovative new practices that will help improve the experience of those traveling on Delaware’s roads and scenic byways,” Sen. Carper said.
In April 2009 the Lewes Scenic and Historic Byway Committee submitted a $120,000 grant request to fund its corridor management plan.
