Approximately $354 million will be coming to Mississippi for highway usage as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Of that $354 million, approximately 70% will be utilized for state projects and the remaining 30% will be allocated to other projects such as small urban projects.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation ("MDOT") expects to let approximately $120 million of the recovery money for projects at its March 24thmeeting. The remainder of the projects will be let over the period of time from April through June.
