The final installment of the Department of Transportation's road and highway aid is rolling in, and Whitefish Bay receives some helpful money.

Whitefish Bay is set to receive almost $175,450 this month for road construction and repairs from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Gov. Scott Walker announced.

The payment is the final installment of money distributed throughout 2011. This year, local governments shared an estimated $446 million to help develop roadways from the state transportation fund. October's checks totaled $111.5 million.

Of the total funds received by the village, $10,794 is in the form of Connecting Highways Aids, which reimburse municipalities for maintenance and traffic control of certain state highways within municipalities.
