Representative John Carter and Mayor Michael Coggin announced today that $5.5 million has been secured for west village road development projects in Salado. This funding, included in the Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development Appropriations bill by Representative Carter, aims to increase access and safety in West Salado, a rapidly expanding area of the community. The legislation received bipartisan support in both chambers and was signed into law by the President.

"Salado is an incredible community, which is why people keep coming to enjoy the charm and friendly atmosphere," said Representative Carter. "With that growth comes challenges, especially to infrastructure. This $5.5 million will help the Village of Salado with road development and improvements so the community and its people can continue to flourish. Thank you to Mayor Coggin and his team for being outstanding partners throughout this process."

Mayor Coggin expressed gratitude towards Congressman Carter's efforts stating, “Congressman John Carter continues to provide amazing support to improve the quality of life for the Salado Village community. His leadership in Congress brought this $5.5 million project to Salado and will dramatically improve future traffic, pedestrian safety, storm drainage and commercial development on the west side of Salado. We deeply appreciate Congressman Carter and his fantastic staff!"
