Norfolk Community Leaders Urge Use of Federal Funds for Expressway

NORFOLK, Neb -- Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce released a statement about local business and community leaders urging state officials to utilize federal funds to finish the long-promised Nebraska Expressway System.

In a letter delivered this week to state senators, the governor, and state highway commissioners, about 45 Norfolk area business and industry leaders encourage state policymakers to use funding from the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to complete the remaining unfinished four-lane highway corridors promised to Nebraskans under the 1988 Nebraska Expressway System.

The letter, spearheaded by Norfolk Mayor Josh Moenning and Norfolk Area Chamber President Austen Hagood, was signed by the Norfolk Area Chamber of Commerce’s Action Council, a committee consisting of Norfolk area business, industry, and community leaders.
