U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-08) today welcomed over $60 million in federal funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for Passaic and Essex County road projects in the 8th Congressional District.
“This investment is going to put people to work and it’s going to do it fast,” stated Pascrell. “It will make our bridges safer, our roads easier to navigate and provide necessary maintenance for deteriorating public infrastructure. This investment will also free up budget room to advance funding for future road projects and modernization work. I applaud this investment and am eager to see it put New Jersey’s people back in their work boots.”
