I-90/Beck Interchange Project Utilizes STAR Legislation

Cheryl Stewart — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:38:00 GMT

The I-90/Beck Interchange project is the first in Idaho to utilize the State Tax Anticipated Revenue (STAR) legislation approved in 2007. The legislation allows private developers to initially fund projects before being reimbursed through sales tax revenue from the project.

An interchange connecting to an interstate highway system must obtain approval through the Federal Highway Administration. The I-90 Beck Road Interchange Justification Report, completed in October 2010, concluded that there is sufficient justification for a new interchange that would connect W. Pointe Parkway north of I-90 to W. Riverbend Avenue south of the freeway.

The project includes a bridge over the interstate and ramps accessing and exiting I-90 for both directions of travel. Other additions include improvements to the Centennial Trail that would prevent interrupted bike and pedestrian travel and also allow users to access the interchange.

I was not aware of this legislation, but it sounds like an interesting way to get some economic development transportation projects funded initially. What do you think of this type of partnership?

Upgrades to Your AGC

Cheryl Stewart — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:10:30 GMT

Almost 10 years ago work began on your new AGC Building – a building we still consider one of the nicest chapter facilities in the country. To make sure it remains that way, we will be undergoing a series of upgrades and maintenance projects.

Thank you to Poe Asphalt for our new parking lot next door by the coffee shop. We will soon be having the entire parking lot sealed and striped to add additional parking spots.
Crews are hard at work as we speak getting the building ready for a fresh coat of paint. Be sure to spot by next week to check it out!
After the paint goes on – not only will we look better but we’ll be easier to find. Look for new signage at both ends of the building.

Thank you to all of the companies that not only helped build this wonderful facility, but are making sure it stays that way.
