National Highway Bill Would Give $7,000,000 to West States
A draft national highway bill proposed in Congress would allocate about 300 million for construction nationwide, with 100 million for an east crossroad project and 47 million to the West. Nevada could gain more proportional funds than Eastern states, while Western states push for a fifty fifty funding split or alternative formulas. The measure aims to improve defense and job creation, with discussions continuing among Washington policymakers and Western state interests.
