Agreements have been reached with two additional owners. Local agencies may offer a bonus to property owners who sign in a timely manner. The incentives must be offered equally to all property owners and are reimbursable by FHWA. The two subject property owners signed within the requisite sixty days of accepting the first written offer. Negotiations continue with the one remaining property owner. |
