Buttigieg visits Washington state, celebrates grant program aimed at helping fish passage
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg toured infrastructure projects and celebrated a federal grant program aimed at improving fish passage in Washington state Thursday.
Buttigieg began touring the Apple Capital Loop Project in Wenatchee, which received $92 million of federal funds from President Joe Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The funding will help construct an 11-mile loop of projects including intersection improvements to SR 285 and North Wenatchee Avenue, the construction of a railroad underpass on McKittrick Street and more. You can find more information on the city's website.
Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, Congresswoman Kim Schrier and Wenatchee Mayor Frank Kuntz accompanied Buttigieg during his visit.
