GOVERNOR KAINE ANNOUNCES $1 BILLION MILESTONE IN ARRA FUNDING ALLOCATED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
~ Nearly 250 projects across the state will be constructed thanks to Recovery Act funding ~
Governor Timothy M. Kaine today announced that more than $1 billion in American Restoration and Recovery Act funding has been allocated for infrastructure projects in Virginia. The infrastructure projects, and jobs created, would not have been possible without the stimulus money provided by the federal government.
“These projects are beginning at a time when we are facing a national economic crisis, and they are putting Virginians to work,” Governor Kaine said. “The projects also will pay long term dividends to all of us, in the form of improved bridges and highways, railways and other transit, sewage treatment and drinking water.”
The Commonwealth of Virginia is expected to receive about $4.8 billion from the Recovery Act. Individuals, private organizations and businesses, and local governments are also eligible for additional Recovery Act funding. As more Recovery Act funds are allocated, more jobs and improvements are expected statewide.
Infrastructure allocations to date include:
$123 million for highway safety and construction improvements;
$116 million for regional transportation projects selected by regional planning organizations;
$116 million for bridge replacement or repair;
$114 million for pavement preservation and restoration;
$96 million for road construction associated with the BRAC process;
$70 million for sewage plant work;
$62 million for rail improvements;
$28 million for urban transit projects;
$21 million for transportation enhancement projects;
$14 million for small urban transit projects;
$19 million for clean drinking water projects;
$8 million for “green” clean water projects;
$4 million for rural transit projects;
About $184 million for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, shared with Maryland and Washington, DC.
The Commonwealth Transportation Board, local governments, the Department of Transportation, Department of Rail and Public Transportation, the Department of Environmental Quality, and Department of Health are now getting the work under contract so that jobs are saved and created. For example, 23 jobs have been created with just two highway paving contracts.
