Tell us a little bit about what the LARC is and who it benefits.
A new initiative for NJDOT’s Local Aid division, the LARC was created to serve the needs of the 21 counties and 565 local governments throughout the state. It is a centralized source of information and a direct connection to a team of experts that helps assist every local government in project selection and delivery. The website houses resources, a calendar of events, and contact information. In addition, a team of experts provides outreach to the whole state by attending conferences, presenting, and addressing questions and concerns.
What is your role on this project?
I am McCormick Taylor’s Project Manager. Along with my team, I make sure we are providing new resources to local public agencies that are helpful, digestible, and relevant to their needs. I also work to produce the technical project delivery content, monitor our hotline and email account, meet routinely with local municipalities, and assist with the development and delivery of NJDOT trainings.
