Project Public Involvement Background
This proposed project has a history of extensive public involvement dating back to the preliminary study prepared for INDOT in 1995. The work was guided by a Study Task Force composed of 50 members from various levels of state and local governments, private sector interests, farmers, and other key community representatives. The task force played a major role in the planning process. Additionally, eight rounds of public meetings were held with average attendance of nearly 300 people per round. The input received significantly influenced the direction of the proposed project and its recommendations.
