[HistoricCemeteries] Make our voice heard on ODOT enhancement grants

[Kuri Gill]

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is now accepting public comments on some 85 project applications for Transportation Enhancement grants and among these are several heritage-related applicants: 
 
--Bandon-Jetty Loop Trail; 
--Port of Toledo-Transportation Museum and Waterfront Path; 
--Astoria-Astoria Railroad Museum; 
--Douglas County-Historic Depot Restoration Plan; 
--Maupin-Section Foremen's House Restoration; 
--Fort Dalles Museum-Antique Vehicle Storage/Display Building; 
--Oregon Parks & Recreation Dept.-Sumpter Dredge Interpretive Center. 
 
Details about these projects can be found on ODOT's Transportation Enhancement website: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/LGS/enhancement.shtml 
 
Public support is a big factor in ODOT's selection of projects for funding. Those that get a lot of "votes" tend to get funded, so please take a few minutes to provide comments by filling out the survey (see link below). It would be great to have some heritage projects benefit from this program, so please be sure to vote for your favorites.
 
The deadline for the survey and public comments is January 28th.
