Today, Governor Chris Gregoire announced a list of city and county transportation projects designated to receive federal funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, including more than $17 million for the 2nd Congressional District in Northwest Washington. U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) worked to pass the Recovery Act, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama last month.
“President Obama’s recovery plan is putting people to work modernizing Washington’s roads and bridges, improving public safety, and getting our economy moving again,” said Larsen. “From Blaine to Mukilteo, from Lopez Island to Granite Falls, your recovery dollars are going to work.”
