Impact analysis
Roughly $350,000 from Second Penny funds, plus engineering and encasement pipe costs still being estimated.
Future development north of Highway 50, the property owner who annexed and rezoned the 40 acres, and the community's long-term growth.
Taxpayers fund the extension even though the state cannot be assessed for the crossing; no building permits have yet been filed for the area.
