Bost Secures $7 Million For Southern Illinois Infrastructure and Emergency Response Projects

“This legislation will make a big difference for hardworking Americans, with a pay hike for our troops, investment in rural hospitals, support for students, and $200 million to expand access to safe truck parking – a priority I’ve fought for years to accomplish. I’m proud to say that, on top of all these important victories, we were able to secure funding to improve our roadways, restore critical infrastructure, and strengthen emergency response in Southern Illinois. These are real results that people will see and feel.”

This funding package includes targeted investments secured by Rep. Bost for Illinois’ 12th District, including:

• $2.2 million for the Village of Oblong for the South Range Street Replacement Project
• $2 million for Washington County Emergency Management/OHS for the Emergency Operations Center
• $1.3 million for the City of Flora for West Side Transportation Improvements
• $900,000 for the City of Carbondale for Poplar Street Restoration
• $540,000 for North Muddy Township to reconstruct N 600th Street
