On the front page of the August 2nd Pueblo Chieftain was a great story on Rep. Lauren Boebert securing $1 million in infrastructure funding for an extension of the Medal of Honor Boulevard in Pueblo. The extension will help the community grow responsibly and connect a previously unincorporated part of the area.
Key takeaways:
-Rep. Lauren Boebert was able to secure $1 million in federal funding for an extension of the Medal of Honor Boulevard in Pueblo, providing a big win for her 3rd District constituents.
-Rep. Boebert’s win is the only federal investment the project has received so far, with Pueblo officials estimating it will cost close to $40 million by the time it is completed.
-The money is from the 2023 House Appropriations Committee funding package and has nothing to do with the Infrastructure Bill from 2022.
