WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06), Chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced that Sullivan County and the City of Milan has received a $9.3 million BUILD (Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development) Grant to improve their infrastructure.
The $9,369,473 grant will fund a full reconstruction of Grand Avenue and improvements along the Market Street and 3rd Street connection. The project will strengthen connections between the new Sullivan County Memorial Hospital, Milan C-2 School District campus, downtown square, and other major employers.
"These much-needed infrastructure improvements in Milan are critical to the future of the community," Graves said. "This BUILD grant will help provide safe access for the new hospital, as well as the school district and other employers and businesses. Congratulations to the City of Milan, Sullivan County, and all the folks who have worked hard to secure this grant. I'm grateful to President Trump and Secretary Duffy for awarding this funding and working with me to make major infrastructure improvements in rural North Missouri."
The project will include milling, striping, overlay, and the installation of medians, stormwater systems, and ADA-compliant traffic controls as well as the construction of sidewalks, water and sewer line relocations, and roadway capacity enhancements.
