State ready to find way to pay for Ports-to-Plains
Texas transportation officials say it is time to come up with a plan to pay for the Ports-to-Plains Corridor, which many local officials predict will create new jobs and economic opportunity for West Texas.The Texas Department of Trans-portation said it will form a working group to develop a financial master plan for Ports-to-Plains.
“It is time to establish the financial plan so we know exactly what we’re aiming for,” said Fred Underwood, member of the Texas Transportation Commission.
Ports-to-Plains is a proposed divided highway corridor stretching from Laredo through West Texas to Denver, Colorado. Designated as a High Priority Corridor by Congress in 1998, the Ports-to-Plains corridor is intended to expand economic opportunity and serve international trade from Mexico to Canada.
Despite the congressional designation, adequate federal funding has not been provided to cover the cost of the project.
