Notice is hereby given of the Availability of the following Draft document for public review and comment:

Draft Amendments # 1 to # 5 to the Merrimack Valley Metropolitan Planning Organization Federal Fiscal Years (FFYs) 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) January 2020

The TIP is a federally-mandated document that programs federal transportation construction funding in the region. The TIP provides a brief description of each road or transit project along with estimates of cost and the year that it will likely be advertised for construction. Any transportation project that will use federal transportation funds must be in the TIP. In addition, the MVMPO�s Public Participation Plan satisfies the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority�s public participation process for the development of its Program of Projects.

Copies of the above referenced document are available for review at the Merrimack Valley Planning Commission (MVPC) office at 160 Main Street in Haverhill and at local libraries for the twenty-one (21) day review period beginning on February 5, 2020 and ending on February 25, 2020. The document is also available on the MVPC website at www.mvpc.org.
