It’s out – and look out!

The Federal Highway Administration has released the 4,300-page Draft Environmental Impact Study (DEIS) for TTC-35.

In the path of TTC-35, as it has been narrowed down today, are more than one and a half million acres of prime farm land, almost one million people, three major aquifers, more than 8 thousand acres of park land, and more than 100 acres of federally recognized historic sites.
