The House has moved the $82 million GARVEE bonding program to the top of its calendar and begun its debate. “By the end of this construction season, 130 lane miles of road will have been improved with the aid of GARVEE,” Rep. George Eskridge, R-Dover, told the House. With this bill, SB 1186, “Another 35 lane miles of improvements” will follow, he said, “on some of the most traveled and most deteriorated lane miles in our state.” With inflation rates for construction materials, the projects will cost less if built with the bonds, Eskridge said, than if they were “pay as you go” projects built over long years.
