The money comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation\u2019s BUILD grant program, short for Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development, officials said in a news release.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Moore called the planned exit \u201ccritical to improving traffic flow, expanding access to essential services, and supporting continued economic growth throughout the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment will provide local leaders with the tools they need to develop the best long-term solution,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n

Cornelius has one other I-77 interchange, the French-invented diverging diamond<\/a> layout at West Catawba Avenue Exit 28.<\/p>\n

The grant will pay for the project\u2019s planning and design phase.<\/p>\n

The town has a preliminary agreement with Atrium Health<\/a> to fund 50% of the grant application and grant match, officials said. The town, Atrium and North Carolina Department of Transportation are scheduled to meet this month to discuss how each might provide money for Exit 27.<\/p>\n

Cornelius Mayor Denis Bilodeau<\/a> said in a news release he appreciated Moore securing the grant, which he called \u201ca tremendous step forward towards our town\u2019s much-needed additional highway exit.\u201d<\/p>\n
