HB 3202 Makes Immediate Difference
Draft Six-Year Program Funds Alliance Missing Link Priorities
It didn’t take long for new HB 3202 funds to make a difference.
After five years of deleting or de-accelerating projects, Virginia’s Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program is actually adding projects and accelerating highway improvements.
For Northern Virginia the result is that the DRAFT FY 2008-FY 2013 Six-Year Program completes full-funding for five Alliance-identified critically needed “missing links.”
