It will commit more than $2.64 million in local money for projects that will cover about six miles of roads combined, Bergstresser said.
Woodman and Wilmington are set to resurfaced first — in 2023 — as they “have a worse condition rating than Dorothy and Marshall,” he said.
“Woodman and Wilmington carry a lot of daily traffic. So we’re programming those sooner, frankly, because they’re in need of resurfacing sooner,” Bergstresser said.
The Marshall and Dorothy projects are both scheduled for 2026-27, he added.
Kettering City Council Tuesday night is expected to approve seeking regional planning funds. Awards are likely to be announced by spring 2022, Bergstresser said.

•$400,000 of the $637,000 Woodman repair and resurfacing from Wilmington to Stocker Drive with a local share of $237,200.
•$1,000,500 for the estimated $1.7 million Marshall project from East David Road to Wilmington with a local share of $750,237.
•$1.53 million for the $2.557 million Dorothy work from South Dixie Drive to Haig Avenue with a local share of $1.02 million.
The MVRPC is responsible for transportation planning in Greene, Miami and Montgomery counties and parts of northern Warren County.
