The General Assembly met last week to consider Governor Northam’s actions on legislation from the 2019 session, one of which was a package of funding amendments for I-81 improvements. The General Assembly approved a mix of statewide and regional measures to generate approximately $150 million annually to fund the I-81 Corridor Improvement Plan. This investment in our infrastructure will support commerce throughout the corridor, and more importantly, enhance safety and reliability for the commuters, students, visitors, and residents who travel I-81 each day.
We applaud the administration, lawmakers, and advocates who made this important issue a priority of the 2019 session.
