Summary

Senate Bill 3181 proposes an appropriation of $1,270,000 from the State General Fund to the Town of Metcalfe, aimed at defraying expenses associated with the paving, resurfacing, and improving of specific streets. The funding is intended for the fiscal year 2025, which spans from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025. Notably, the streets included in this project are Martin Luther King Drive, Highway (Metcalfe Rd.)
