Antonovich disappointed Gold Line Foothill extension denied Stimulus Funding
Posted by admin under County of LA , Transportation
The United States Transportation Department’s failure to include the Gold Line Foothill Extension in the federal stimulus package is a major disappointment. ”The reported purpose of the stimulus funding plan was to create jobs and provide economic recovery for our communities by fast-tracking ‘shovel-ready’ projects that required funding to move forward,” said Antonovich. “It is ironic that the Gold Line was passed over. The Gold Line Foothill Extension would have been a model project for the federal government to fund, given its ‘ready-to-go’ status and its direct impact on the economic development of cities and communities in the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles County.”
