STATE REP. OLSON-ROADS AND BRIDGES
State Representative Bjorn Olson (R-Elmore) is sponsoring a pair of bills that will help rural towns with their road and bridge needs over the next two years.
“We always hear how our state highways and interstates are in need of funding, but the reality is many of our local roads and bridges are in serious need of repair,” Olson said. “My legislation would begin to address this problem.”
Olson’s first bill would appropriate $8 million in each of the next two years to continue the popular Small Cities Assistance Program, which provides a revenue stream for towns to make street repairs.
