Senator Cassidy says Louisiana is making progress in infrastructure
MONROE, La. (KNOE) – Senator Bill Cassidy says Louisiana is making progress in infrastructure following the approval of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill funding.
Senator Cassidy says $1.4 billion was approved by Governor Landry, making Louisiana the first state to get federal approval for a plan to build statewide broadband.
Cassidy also says so far Ruston and Morgan City have taken advantage of this funding.
“With this money we’re receiving from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, we’re creating an even better state for families and businesses. Ruston got a Raise grant several years ago and they built a connector between the City of Ruston and Louisiana Tech University, we just cut the ribbon recently. In the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill we quadrupled the money going to such grants,” says Senator Bill Cassidy.
