Culver Says Iowa to Get Another Six Million for Highway
Congressman John C. Culver announced that the Secretary of Transportation said Iowa will receive an additional six million dollars for its highway construction program this year. The funding brings Iowa to nearly 57 million dollars for the year and reflects priority needs and confidence in state highway plans. Culver had pressed for review after earlier inequitable cuts and noted federal officials will reassess allocations at the end of the first quarter to possibly reallocate from states with disproportionate shares. He pledged to work with the Iowa delegation to ensure orderly development of the program.
