Texas SB2935 establishes a highway construction mitigation program for businesses affected by state highway projects.

Texas SB2935 amends the Transportation Code to create a highway construction mitigation program. The Texas Department of Transportation will administer this program to provide grants to businesses that suffer economic damages due to highway construction projects. To qualify, businesses must be organized and in good standing under Texas law, have traffic access impacted by the project or be within five miles of a project that has rerouted traffic or increased congestion, and demonstrate damages through a decline in gross receipts or an increase in expenses.
