The City Council approved a resolution June 2 that will establish local funding for the SH 114 Green Ribbon Project. The Texas Department of Transportation project’s goal is to provide supplemental landscaping in highly visible areas that will enhance the appearance of Grapevine.

The resolution states the city of Grapevine is entering into a Local Transportation Project Advance Funding agreement to help fund local landscape improvements of SH 114 from William D. Tate Avenue to Main Street. The project is also funded by the Federal Highway Administration and TxDOT’s Green Ribbon program as well as two separate grants from the Governor’s Community Achievement Award.

The Green Ribbon project provides no allowances for cost overruns; therefore, the city will cover any cost overages. The city will use funds from its Quality of Life fund for the project.
