Deseret News: Infrastructure projects top stimulus wish lists of mayors, city managers (UT)
From Deseret News:
Like a majority of mayors and city managers who listed their city's wishful projects with the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Provo Mayor Lewis Billings is unsure how the money may trickle in to finance local infrastructure projects. "But we have received word that there will be some funding coming through the Federal Highway Administration," Billings told the Deseret News from Washington, D.C. "They are recommending some portion of those monies (be used) on projects that benefit Provo." The Provo mayor has been meeting with Utah's congressional delegation this week about Provo's funding needs. Billings said Utah's House representatives are aware of Provo's specific projects and has seen many of them firsthand. Considering the city's size and population, Provo compiled a relatively conservative list of 38 clearly described projects. Their estimation of new jobs created also appears to be more realistically calculated compared with other Utah cities.
