Washington, DC,
March 31, 2018
02, WA—Beginning April 3, Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) will host a series of roundtable discussions on transportation and infrastructure issues impacting Washington’s Second Congressional District. In a series of meetings, Larsen will hear from officials from Island, Whatcom, Snohomish and Skagit Counties on the impacts the recently passed Omnibus spending package, the president’s Fiscal Year 2019 budget proposal and infrastructure plans could have on local projects. Last year, the United States received a D+ on its infrastructure. According to the Association of Washington Business, Washington state alone needs over $190 billion in infrastructure investments, with highways and local roads requiring $134 billion in investment. Congressman Larsen is focused on maintaining federal investment in Washington’s infrastructure in order to sustain and build on the state’s economic growth and put folks in the Pacific Northwest to work. ### |
