Sens. Warnock, Ossoff announce millions in funding for projects across Ga.

ATLANTA, Ga. (WSAV) – On Monday, Senators Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff announced nearly $30 million in federal funding for transportation infrastructure upgrades in seven localities across Georgia.

The federal funding will help fund projects across the state aimed at upgrading sidewalks, installing new street lighting and signage, creating buffered cycling lanes, upgrading stormwater drainage, and funding critical planning phases for future projects.

The funding was made possible by the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity program that was established by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

“As a member of the Senate committee overseeing our nation’s transportation policy, it is of paramount importance to me to secure federal funding for Georgia communities that will bolster connectivity and more efficient commutes, and ensure all folks have accessibility to get where they are going more safely—and that is exactly what these new investments will do,” said Senator Warnock.

Senator Ossoff said, “Our bipartisan infrastructure law continues delivering long-overdue investments for Georgia’s infrastructure to ensure pedestrian and commuter safety for generations to come.”.
