SCFOR applauds the legislature for continuing to make infrastructure a budget priority. Over the last few years, we have seen significant investments made through the budget process that have helped accelerate projects in the pipeline and provide timely boosts to programs.
The investments in the FY25-26 budget ensure that repairs and replacements to our aging bridge network continue while safeguarding existing programs from being adversely affected by unexpected expenses from Hurricane Helene.
At a time when dollars are not going as far as they used to and are not keeping pace with our growing population, these budget investments are essential to keeping projects moving forward.
