KANSAS SENATOR RICHARD HILDERBRAND ISSUES
STATEMENT ON HIGHWAY 69 EXPANSION
GALENA- Senator Richard Hilderbrand (R-Galena) today issued the following statement on Governor Jeff Colyer’s announcement to expand Highway 69:
“I applaud Governor Colyer’s announcement today on the critically needed four-lane expansion of Highway 69.
For too long the citizens of Southeast Kansas have been forgotten, and that is why this expansion has been a priority of mine.
Not only will this project increase safety, it will have a long-term economic impact on our region. I am extremely grateful for the hard work put in by the Highway 69 Association and everyone involved to make this happen.
While this is a good step in the right direction, our work is not finished. I will work hard in Topeka to continue infrastructure investments in Southeast Kansas to encourage growth and allow us to remain competitive throughout the state and entire nation.”
