    In this episode of Infrastructure Junkies, hosts Dave Arnold and Kristen Short discuss the recent changes to the Uniform Relocation Act, focusing on the Final Rule that was implemented after a decade of waiting. They are joined by relocation expert Lisa Harrison of Pinnacle Consulting Management Group, Inc., who provides insights into the distinctions between the federal statute and regulations in the CFR, the implications of the Final Rule, and the new monetary limits for relocation benefits.

There are new provisions for claiming expenses prior to project approval. The FHWA is expected to release FAQs addressing common concerns by December. The relocation community is open to questions and discussions for those seeking guidance. Real-world application and mentorship are key to mastering relocation processes.
