Phase 1 shall be constructed from the TR 234 (Shumway Hollow Rd.) Interchange, near the Scioto County Airport, to an interchange at CR 28 (Lucasville-Minford Rd.). This phase is 3.32 miles long and contains 4 bridges and 2 interchanges. This Phase of the Bypass contains all the Environmental, Right-of-way and Design costs for the entire Bypass. Phase 2 is PID 79977, and Phase 3 is PID See Attachment 1 for a Map showing the project location and the relationship with the Appalachian Highway Development System. Purpose and Need The Portsmouth bypass will provide a missing link in the Appalachian Development Highway System to improve travel time and regional mobility, avoiding 30 traffic signals, 80 intersections and 500 driveways over the current 26 mile route. A new roadway will result in a time savings of 16 minutes per trip (off peak) compared to the current through route. In addition to transportation benefits, a primary purpose is to provide access to suitable property (relatively flat) for economic development in the economically depressed region surrounding Portsmouth, Ohio, which consistently experiences unemployment and poverty rate of more than twice the statewide average.

7 Application Attachment Attachment 2 Economic Growth Factors Compiled by: Steve Carter, Scioto County Economic Development Office Land Being Redeveloped: YES Brownfield Remediation work remaining to be done at the Robert Walton, Sr. Industrial Park includes a 10-acre demolition and cleanup of a former steel mills diesel locomotive maintenance building. An $800,000 Brownfield Grant has been awarded. A new $12 million steel fabrication plant is planning to build a new facility on this site employing 65 new hires. A $3 million USEPA Brownfield Stimulus Project will clean up 40 acres of above ground and in-ground petroleum products at the closed New Boston coke plant. This project will allow for new industrial development at the site. Both of these projects are within the Industrial Park adjacent to US Route 52 and the Ohio River and are within a few miles of the southern terminus of the Portsmouth Bypass. Improves Business Access: YES The Portsmouth Bypass with access points on U.S. 52 and U.S 23 will open up thousands of acres in the Minford, Ohio, Portsmouth Regional Airport area for commercial and industrial development, land which is out of the floodplain with access to the Teays River Valley Aquifer, public and private company water and electric utilities. A new $29,750,000 sanitary sewer treatment plant and sewer line project will also serve the area with excess industrial capacity and is being looked at favorably by USDA Rural Development for funding. A main CSX line runs through the community. The Bypass will serve two Job Ready Industrial Sites on the Ohio River on U.S. 52: New Boston s Robert Walton Sr. Industrial Park, approximately 4 miles downriver, a Southern Ohio Port Authority redeveloped Brownfield site with $6 million in Clean Ohio Funds invested and $20 million in Brownfield clean-up funds invested having major industrial manufacturing, metal fabrication and commercial centers located on site ( including a major Ohio River dock and N&S main rail service); The U.S. 52 Haverhill site with major infrastructure in place with heavy manufacturing and chemical industries upriver from the southern Bypass access point on U.S. 52.

8 These industries and their employees will benefit greatly with this Bypass in place. The Portsmouth Bypass will also assist in serving commercial and industrial transportation needs in adjacent Lawrence County also along U.S. 52 with throughput to adjacent States and the interior of Ohio while serving transportation needs of Lawrence County s industrial parks such as The Point Industrial Park. Improved Investment & Employment: YES The Robert Walton Sr. Industrial Park in New Boston, has been one of Ohio s premier Brownfield redevelopments with over $40 million in private industrial development, $6 million in Clean Ohio Funds, $20 million in private sector clean-up funds, and millions in county and port authority funding through bonding capacity and access to state and federal grants for site infrastructure improvements and Brownfield cleanup. The park holds a ceramic refractory, a gray iron casting foundry, a defense subcontractor metal fabricator for military land vehicles, a prospective $12 million new steel fabrication plant serving the construction and building industries, and a Super Wal-Mart shopping center and strip mall with associated restaurants. The total new jobs that have been created on the former Armco Steel plant site is 1275 employees. A $29,750,000 sanitary sewage treatment plant and sewer line project is planned by Scioto County in the Minford, Ohio area where Phase I of the Portsmouth Bypass is located along with the Portsmouth Area s Regional Airport. The project will be funded by USDA Rural Development Stimulus dollars and other public funds. The county has been told that the funding outlook is favorable. The system is designed to handle new industrial commercial/industrial park growth as well as serving surrounding communities. The Haverhill Industrial site in recent years hosts 2 new Sunoco SunCoke Plants with investment totaling $400 million with 130 jobs created; a new Sunoco Chemicals Aristech Phenol III plant with an investment of approximately $130 million with employment of 25 new employees with the overall total employment of Phenol I, II, and III at 172 jobs and 90 full time maintenance contractor jobs. SunCoke is seriously looking at deploying 2 more Coke Plants to supply coke to the recession emerging steel industry with another investment of $500 million including a steam generated power plant to place electricity on an adjacent transmission power grid. New Steel International, although delayed in deployment and financing due to the recession is working hard to obtain additional financing to construct an electric arc furnace steel plant to produce hot and cold rolled steel, and eventually stainless steel as multiple plant facilities are built. This project has a negotiated financial incentives package through ODOD and total construction build out will approximate $2-3 billion over time, providing high wage, family sustaining jobs for 1200 estimated employees and thousands of construction workers. New Steel has EPA water discharge permits, air permits, and Corps of Engineer docking permits in place. The Haverhill site has access to major industrial gas pipelines, water, and sewage, is on the Ohio River, served by U.S. 52, adjacent to N&S mainline track, and is out of the 100-year flood plain. Access to I-64 in Kentucky and West Virginia is in place. Also in close proximity to the southern terminus of the Bypass, is a 270-acre parcel acquired by a private developer working with the Southern Ohio Port Authority and the Scioto County Economic development Office to develop a new industrial park along the Ohio River at the intersection of St.Rt. 522 and U.S. 52, southeast of Wheelersburg, with rail, water, sewer, and gas on site or in close proximity.. The Portsmouth Bypass holds the economic future for Scioto County, as the county only has several hundred acres left which is out of the flood plain for development. The Bypass will open up thousands of new acres for development, creating job opportunities for thousands of citizens in a very depressed area of the State. Local developers and local government have proven capacity to take advantage of infrastructure development and transportation improvements in attracting new industry and in assisting the expansion of existing commercial/industrial businesses.
