Also included is $64,867 for erosion control involving soil conservation district projects, $250,000 to develop access roads to recreational areas, and $114,831 in state funds to match federal funds for planning. Arlington County will receive an estimated $1,840,500 and Henrico County an estimated $2,627,700 for local roads in 1971-72. Under other distribution methods, the State Highway Commission later this spring will allocate funds for construction on the interstate, arterial, regular primary and urban road systems for the 1971-72 fiscal year.
