Douglas County commissioners voted Thursday to accept $379,358 in federal stimulus money for road improvement projects.
"Whether you are for it or against the stimulus money, we worked really hard to equally divide it," said Commissioner Doug Johnson.
He was the county representative to the Nevada Association of Counties and League of Cities committee that divided $7 million allocated by the Nevada Department of Transportation to rural counties.
The money comes from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Assistant County Manager Steve Mokrohisky said there was no local match requirement.
The county must pay for the projects up front, then file for reimbursement.
Projects include a $260,000 overlay on Jacks Valley Road and $270,000 for a similar project on Dresslerville Road.
The additional money will be paid from the county overlay fund.
