House Passes Gosar Bill to Expand I-11

Statement

Date: Dec. 4, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Transportation Infrastructure

Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) released the following statement after the House passed the Conference Report for H.R. 22: Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 which included the Congressman's Intermountain West Corridor Development Act, H.R. 1612:

"Arizonans throughout the state should be proud that the U.S. southwestern region continues to be one of the fastest growing areas for economic development in the entire country. However, this rapid growth of industry requires an updated infrastructure system to accommodate the increasing volume of transportation. For this reason, I have continued to lead the charge on I-11.

"Extending I-11 and allowing it to become the main transportation corridor in the West will be an economic boon for our communities, creating jobs, allowing for an easier flow of goods and services and authorizing the construction of much needed infrastructure. America has some significant transportation challenges. Getting I-11 built is just commonsense and the associated economic benefits will help future Arizona generations indefinitely."
