This bill appropriates $600,000 in general funds for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to the Department of Transportation. The funds are designated as matching funds for the Town of Warner to support a section of the rail trail project, which aims to connect Contoocook Village with downtown Warner through a Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) grant. The governor is authorized to draw the necessary funds from the treasury, ensuring that the town receives the financial support needed for this infrastructure project.

The bill also specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2025. The fiscal impact analysis indicates that while there will be no revenue generated from this bill, it will result in an expenditure of $600,000 in FY 2026, directly benefiting the Town of Warner. There are no anticipated local expenditures associated with this appropriation, as the funds are intended solely for the rail trail project.
