The MAS Office has continued to work close with MDOT regarding the next steps for the ERBR Funds. The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) anticipates the bond proceeds will be deposited into the ERBR Fund by the first part of February. MDOT will send each awarded agency a “notice of award” amount and the next steps leading to the distribution of funds. Award letters are anticipated to be mailed in the first part of February also. Each notice of award amount will be accompanied by a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the awarded agency and MDOT. Information on the content of the MOA can be found on the ERBRF website at: http://mdot.ms.gov/portal/erbrf/documents/ERBRF%20MOA%20Information.pdf . Each agency will be responsible for signing the MOA and returning it to MDOT. Once the MOA has been fully executed, MDOT will then distribute funds to the awarded agency.
