§ 33.1-221.1:4. Interstate 66 Economic Development Program
A. The General Assembly declares it to be in the public interest that the economic development needs and economic growth potential of the Interstate 66 Corridor in Northern Virginia be addressed by a special transportation program to provide for the costs of providing an adequate, modern, safe and efficient transportation network in the Northern Virginia Transportation District which shall be known as the Interstate 66 Economic Development Program (the Program), including, without limitation, environmental and engineering studies, design, rights-of-way acquisition, construction, improvements to all modes of transportation, and financing costs.
B. Allocations to this Program shall be made annually by the Commonwealth Transportation Board from the Interstate 66 Economic Development Program Fund for the creation and enhancement of a safe, efficient transportation system connecting the communities, businesses, places of employment, and residences of the Commonwealth, thereby enhancing the economic development potential, employment, opportunities, mobility and quality of life in Virginia.
C. Allocations to the Program shall not diminish or replace allocations made from other sources or diminish allocations to which any district, system, or locality would be entitled under other provisions of this title, but shall be supplemental to other allocations to the end that transportation improvements in Virginia may be accelerated and augmented. Allocations under this subsection shall be limited to projects specified in subsection E of this section.
D. The Commonwealth Transportation Board may expend such funds from all sources as may be lawfully available to initiate the Program.
E. The Program consists of certain improvements to, and contiguous to, Interstate 66 in Northern Virginia, including but not limited to (i) capacity enhancement improvements to Interstate 66 from the existing interchange with State Route 234 to and through the existing interchange with U.S. Route 29; and (ii) improvements to the existing interchange on Interstate 66 at U.S. Route 29.
