T-SPLOST Projects to GDOT —Corey Hull of VLMPO at LCDP (Part 5)

OK, so local jurisdictions have submitted their T-SPLOST project lists and if their regional roundtable doesn't have a combined list ready for the voters in time, there are penalties. So what's the next step?

Corey Hull of VLMPO explains that next they go to GDOT and then back.

On April 13th we have to turn those projects in to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

...

On June 1st or thereabouts, the executive committee that Chairman Paulk is on is gonna receive the unconstrained project list. It won't be ... constrained to the amount of money the economists say we will receive.

...

It is that executive committee's responsibility to go through and select projects and select the projects off that we can afford for the region.
