CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia will have access to
$2.6 million in unspent federal highway funds for transportation
improvements and job creation.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray
LaHood said Friday that more than $470 million will be made immediately
available nationwide for projects such as repairing crumbling roads and
bridges. States must identify how the funds will be used by Oct. 1.
The
money initially was allocated to the Transportation Department for
special projects known as earmarks from 2003 to 2006. The
Republican-controlled House has since banned earmarks, which are
provisions tucked into spending bills for lawmakers' pet projects.
But
LaHood says money awarded by previous Congresses should be spent to
improve the nation's highways, transit systems and ports.
