City of Hickory Receives Federal Highway Association Grant

August 17, 2011

Marlowe & Company is pleased to announce that the City of Hickory, North Carolina will receive nearly $1 million in federal highway grant funds. The money is designated for the community's  Sweetwater Road project which will build a 3 lane connector road through the Catawba Valley Community College campuses to connect Highway 70 with Startown Road on the east side of the community college. Hickory has been a client of Marlowe & Company for several years. 

Overall, North Carolina received over $8 million in grant funding for various highway projects.  The funds were awarded today by the U.S. Department of Transportation. “During this time of budget constraints on Capitol Hill, federal funding has become increasing difficult to come by and the federal grants process has become more competitive.  Marlowe & Company is pleased to have helped the City of Hickory obtain these funds,” said Natasha Bui, Public Affairs Advisor at Marlowe & Company.
