Mayor Tom Henry and the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) announced that they are traveling to Washington, D.C. this week to convince members of Congress to approve an economic stimulus package that quickly addresses valuable infrastructure needs and puts Hoosiers to work.
“Headlines across the country are focusing on President Obama’s stimulus package. I want Fort Wayne residents to know that I’m working with Indiana senators and congressmen to make sure they know the value of these plans for putting Fort Wayne residents to work now and for years to come,” Mayor Henry said. “By giving the money directly to cities and towns, we will be able to get it into the community quickly with our projects that are ready to go.”
Mayor Henry and IACT will be joined by a bi-partisan group of seven mayors from around the state to support a stimulus package that allocates significant federal funding for local infrastructure. The group will meet with several members of the Indiana congressional delegation on Wednesday during a day of meetings on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
