Contingent Travels To D.C. To Lobby For Bridge Funds

A contingent of local officials will be in Washington, D.C. this week lobbying for federal funds for replacement of the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge.  An application for a 195 million dollar federal grant was submitted a few weeks ago.  Hood River Mayor Kate McBride, White Salmon Mayor Marla Keethler, Klickitat County Commissioner Jacob Andersom. Port of Hood River Commissioner Mike Fox, and bridge replacement director Kevin Greenwood are all taking part.  The Port’s Genevieve Scholl says Congressional representatives in the region have expressed support for the grant in a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.  Scholl said there should be a decision on the application by the end of the year.
