OKLAHOMA CITY – House Appropriations & Budget Chair Trey Caldwell, R-Lawton, and Vice Chair of Senate Appropriations Sen. John Haste, R-Broken Arrow, applauded the governor’s signing of House Bill 2758, landmark legislation they authored that delivers up to $75 million in new resources for county roads and bridges across Oklahoma.

The measure, which now becomes law, is one of the largest single-year investments in county transportation infrastructure in state history. It provides critical support to counties as they work to improve road conditions, address structurally deficient bridges, and bolster rural and urban transportation networks that Oklahomans rely on every day.

“This puts this critical funding directly into the hands of our counties to fix the roads and bridges they know best,” Caldwell said. “This will keep Oklahomans safe as they travel. It will keep commerce moving through our rural and urban areas to the economic benefit of all Oklahomans, and it will lead to job growth and support the long-term future of Oklahoma’s infrastructure. We’re proud to stand with county officials in delivering the resources they’ve long needed.” View the full article: PoncaCityNow.com
