so, that project would also increase usage for local land. at this level it is not yet designed, but it would be the $5 million to $8 million range, with a surplus from option #1. so, this appropriation request, for $74,000, is essentially to take a closer look at this concept. during an independent review of the cost of caltrans and design options, making sure that we are not making opportunities for a more ideal option. secondly, to do a very conceptual level of design on the connector road as workable and demonstrate that to the community before going forward potentially the closing the access on clint -- clint -- quint. we have dates for funding to be conducted once we have done the design work. we are hoping to just present this to the community and get feedback on these options before we come back to the board of. that concludes -- board action, we are looking at the cac in may for board policy action. supervisor avalos: thank you. mr. flanagan briefly touched upon this project. there was concern from the public about talking about the

the federal land to parks program provides federal land to local governments with the agreement through the deed that the lands will stay in public use primarily for recreation. ack mock county, virginia, -- accomack county, virginia, is developing this land for hangars and our development. this is valued over $800,000. meanwhile, the county is asking congress to intervene to take the land they got for free and develop it without compensating the federal government. the underlying bill is the legislative equivalent of writing accomack county a check for $815,000. it is only through a deed amendment that it isn't called an earmark. my amendment simply requires the county to repay the federal government for the fair market value of the lands from the proceeds of the development. by ensuring the taxpayers are protected, we also send a signal to other local governments that are facing economic or development pressures that their lands are not piggybacked to tap into when times get -- piggy banked to tap into when times get tough. i understand the challenges accomack county faces but they wa

the idea that this study was established as a vision for the local vision for how land use is to be in this area that will serve as a constraint and it would be respected by future will designs. -- rail designs. the study produce cost estimates that are detailed in chapter 7. the estimate for the station itself, between 50-$60 million. if you start to increase this, the cost rises pretty dramatically. we recognize that this is a high price tag. we think that this is a deliverable set of projects. we are expecting public and private contributions. there is actually a separate study called the by county transportation study that is exploring these funding options. we do expect to bring a report from the steady to the committee later this year and later in the spring. we do think that this area is very competitive for regional funds. we think the prospects are good. finally, i do want to touch on the recent finding environment. we recognize that the economy has been slow and that has slowed the pace of land development. we have also seen the recent redevelopment which has taken away the m

i know that the board has had wide sweeping concerns about land deals and local hiring and widespreadconomic impact, but it sounds to me that most of those issues have been resolved. as far as spreading economic impact across the various disadvantaged areas of the city away from the waterfront, that is what this event needs to focus on inclusion as opposed to just providing access to racing. inclusion will enable more people to reach the favorable pockets of the city and enjoy them outside of the race time. think about all of the street vendors, the prosperity, and all of this satellite activities that will arise from the america's cup. more importantly, i really want you to think back to june 19, 1999. rutherford new jersey, the stadium, home of the new york giants, but instead of a football game, women's soccer laid siege to the international spotlight. that game showcased. knowing what ever have thought that women's soccer or any other sporting event would have the slightest chance of filling up such a large scale. president chiu: thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. >> th

additionally epa's budget request would fund the protection of the land and water and local communities. reflecting the president's commitment to restoring and protecting the great lakes, this budget requests that congress maintain the current funding level of $300 million for the great lakes restoration initiative. this support will continue to be used for collaborative work with partners at the state, local and troebl level and also with municipal groups. requests support for protection of the chesapeake bay and other treasured and economically significant bodies of water. it requests $755 million for continued support of the superfund cleanup programs. it maintains the agency's emergency preparedness and response capabilities. epa's budget request makes major investments in its science and technology act of $807 million. or almost 10% of the total request. this includes $576 million for research, including $81 million in research grants and fellowships to scientists and universities throughout the country for targeted research as part of the science to achieve results or s.t.a.r. pro
