The Washington State Public Works Board has approved over $220 million in funding for local community infrastructure projects. Awards from the Board’s traditional construction program will support vital public infrastructure across six different systems: streets and roads, bridges, domestic water, stormwater, sanitary sewers, and solid waste, recycling and organics.
In this funding cycle, 62 applicants submitted 85 funding requests for more than $312 million in state infrastructure funding. The Board considered the rated and ranked applications and conditionally awarded loans and grants to 61 construction projects, totaling over $221 million.
Locally, the city of Colfax will receive just over $6 million for 2024 Water System Improvements; and the city of Palouse will receive more than $164,000 for the Palouse Cove Road Sidewalk Improvement project.
