Congress Eyes Deep Cuts to TIGER Grant Program
Shawnee County officials sought a $16.7 million TIGER grant to replace the Willard Bridge, with county officials voicing cautious optimism as Congress weighs an about 80 percent cut to TIGER funding in fiscal year 2016. The bridge replacement costs are put at $24.4 million, with potential aid from a half cent sales tax surplus and nearby county funds.
