In February, the group took feedback on the project and the three preliminary alternative routes through mail and online surveys. The project was first announced in 2016 by then-Indiana Governor Mike Pence and Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin. The project team is in the process of gathering information for a federally-mandated Draft Environmental Impact Statement. A preferred alternative is expected in the fall.
