Across the United States, federal funding is being allocated to various infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing economic growth, connectivity, and environmental justice. In Texas, the Southern Gateway Park project in Dallas has secured $80 million, thanks to efforts by local representatives and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to reconnect communities and spur economic development. Secretary Pete Buttigieg, visiting Dallas, underscored the federal government's commitment to these initiatives. Similarly, Southern Nevada is receiving $66.5 million from the USDOT for public transportation system improvements, while Los Angeles benefits from a $900 million investment for projects including pedestrian bridges and green spaces in anticipation of the 2028 Olympics. McAllen Airport in Hidalgo County, Texas, has been granted $7 million, reflecting a commitment to regional progress. Additionally, the Maryland Pkwy Bus Rapid Transit Project in Southern Nevada has been awarded $150 million to enhance connectivity and economic vitality, with a focus on environmental benefits. Other notable allocations include $600,000 to Norwalk for reconnecting neighborhoods divided by highways, led by Mayor Rilling & City Council, and significant investments in Dallas and McKinney for freeway parks. These projects collectively aim to bridge community gaps, advance economic progress, and promote equity across the nation.
