RIO GRANDE CITY, TEXAS - Between them, the counties of Starr and Zapata will receive close to half a billion dollars for transportation infrastructure projects over the next ten years, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar has announced.
The federal funding will go towards the Texas Department of Transportation’s 2025 Unified Transportation Program, which is the state’s ten-year plan to guide the development of transportation work across the state.
“These funds will go towards constructing traffic relief routes, sidewalks, and improving existing roads, bridges, traffic control devices and safety features,” Cuellar said. “I will continue to fight for the funding we need to improve our infrastructure.”
Cuellar spoke about the funding at a press conference held at the Starr County Annex Building in Rio Grande City. Among the VIPs present were Starr County Judge Eloy Vera, Roma Mayor Jaime Escobar, Jr., and Starr County Industrial Foundation President Rose Benavidez. Daniel Flores, TxDOT’s area engineer, gave a breakdown on the projects his district will be working on.
Cuellar said $232.3 million in federal funding will go towards transportation infrastructure in Starr County, while $220.4 million in federal funding will go towards transportation infrastructure in Zapata County.
