Today, Representative John Carter and Mayor Michael Coggin announced that Rep. Carter secured $5.5 million for west village road development projects in Salado. This funding will increase access and safety in West Salado, one of the fastest-growing areas of the community. Representative Carter included this funding in the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations bill. The legislation passed both chambers with bipartisan support and was signed into law by the President.

 

"Salado is an incredible community, which is why people keep coming to enjoy the charm and friendly atmosphere," said Representative Carter. "With that growth comes challenges, especially to infrastructure. This $5.5 million will help the Village of Salado with road development and improvements so the community and its people can continue to flourish. Thank you to Mayor Coggin and his team for being outstanding partners throughout this process."

 

“Congressman John Carter continues to provide amazing support to improve the quality of life for the Salado Village community," said Mayor Coggin. "His leadership in Congress brought this $5.5 million project to Salado and will dramatically improve future traffic, pedestrian safety, storm drainage and commercial development on the west side of Salado. We deeply appreciate Congressman Carter and his fantastic staff!"
