Senator Murray Secures Nearly $19 Million for Southwest WA through Congressionally Directed Spending

Press Release

“I made sure to write this year’s government funding bills with Southwest Washington in mind and I’m proud to have secured resources for incredible local projects—everything from advancing the Lieser School and Heights District redevelopment projects in Vancouver to improving local water infrastructure. There is so much else in these funding bills that will help families and communities in the region—from the billion dollar boost I secured for child care and pre-k, to funding for the Capital Investment Grant program that will be critical to getting the job done on the I-5 Bridge Replacement Project. Most of my constituents can’t fly to DC to lobby some federal agency, but I can talk to folks when I’m back home and I can fight for the resources that they know will make a difference—like $700,000 for the Cowlitz Indian Tribe’s mobile health unit that I saw for myself earlier this year, that’s an effort that is literally saving lives in Clark County.”
