Recommendations and Comments

KYTC	741 Samuel Collins Agency	Y Approve	Sounds good, cost may be a possible issue with alternatives	Aug 20, 2015	1556
Construction	77 Rachel Mills Agency	Y Approve	Product could be of some benefit in areas where aesthetics is an issue. The "green" appearance would be beneficial and the ability to provide erosion control stability would be a plus. Also, the product appears to be environmentally friendly. I am not sure that this product can compete with our current material that is being used; therefore I think the product would have extremely limited use in the state.	Feb 07, 2014	1365
