Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., announced Tuesday that a $5 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant will go to Ranson to help the town expand its north-south Fairfax Boulevard by 1,000 feet. The expansion is expected to help connect Ranson to Charles Town.
"This is huge news for West Virginia," Capito said in a news release. "I am thrilled to see such a large grant come to the Mountain State."
Capito said the connection will help the city achieve more economic growth.
John Reisenweber, executive director of the Jefferson County Development Authority, agreed.
"These funds will greatly assist Ranson in their redevelopment efforts and help grow the economy here in Jefferson County," he said in a news release.
The grant comes from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or TIGER Discretionary Grant program.
"These are innovative, 21st century projects that will change the U.S. transportation landscape by strengthening the economy and creating jobs, reducing gridlock and providing safe, affordable and environmentally sustainable transportation choices," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a news release. "Many of these projects could not have been funded without this program."
