In June 2023, Senate Bill 247 (Act 13) established the Agricultural Roads Improvement Program (ARIP) as part of the 2023-2025 biennium budget to improve highways functionally classified as local roads, or minor collectors, or culverts, that provide access to agricultural lands or facilities used to produce agricultural goods, including forest products.
Created within the framework of the existing Local Roads Improvement Program (LRIP), ARIP provides a one-time segregated revenue (SEG) funding of $150 million to enhance rural roads, bridges, and culverts in Wisconsin's rural communities.
Applications are now available for the Agricultural Road Improvement Program. Farmers and loggers are encouraged to contact their local governments and ask them to submit applications for the first round of grants. Round One Applications Due Before April 5th.
