The city of Round Rock is seeking $55 million in federal grant funding from the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization for four road projects.

The total cost for the projects is about $93 million, city staff said.

Why now?

Round Rock City Council approved four measures authorizing the application to fund about half of project costs using federal grant monies in a Jan. 8 meeting.
