State Senator Maria Collett (covering District 12 in Montgomery) has announced $11,837,112 in state grant funding for more than two dozen infrastructure-related projects across the 12th Senatorial District.

“Investments in local infrastructure are critical to making our communities safer and more attractive places to live, work and play,” Senator Collett said. “I was proud to support this robust funding to restore aging roads and bridges, expand recreational opportunities, upgrade outdated school facilities, and make other urgent improvements while boosting our local economies.”
