The Project will provide congestion, mobility, transit, and safety enhancements at the Fairgrounds Drive and Highway 37 interchange, including roadway corridor improvements in front of the Solano County Fairgrounds that were identified in the Solano360 Specific Plan.
STA is seeking a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) included as Attachment A, with Solano County to provide $4 million in funding for the construction of the State Route 37/Fairgrounds Drive Improvement Project.

This County match amount is necessary to supplement the $21.2 million in State, regional, and local funding that is already committed to the Project.

Approval by the Board authorizes the County Administrator to execute the MOA and assist STA with the various funding applications in support of this Project.
