Background:
The BUILD Grant was awarded to the City of Brookings in the fall of 2019. The grant provides for new street access from 22nd Avenue to 34th Avenue with a new interstate interchange. The BUILD Grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation for a total project construction cost anticipated at $23,347,037. Approximately $4,669,407 or 20% of the funding is local. This local match is met with City partners including $2 million from Brookings County, $669,407 from Private Donors, and $2 million of City funding to make the project possible.
Updates and scheduled discussion points have been created for the City/County/Private Donors to review the project’s progression.

Staff will advertise public input dates as they are determined.
