Highway 97 Funding Update
Feb 16, 2019Last year, a delegation from the City of Bend headed to Washington DC to seek federal funding that would leverage the existing $50 million earmarked by the state for addressing the intersections on 97 at Bend’s north end.
That effort was ultimately unsuccessful in securing the needed $60-$70 million although the group made headway in generating interest in the project with federal policymakers and staff.
Council will discuss taking another shot at the INFRA Grant at their meeting next Wednesday, Feb. 20.
