There are winners and losers in every budget process, and Sen. Rob Bradley asserted Thursday that Clay County was a winner this year.
“It was a challenging session,” said Bradley. “I’m incredibly proud of what the Clay County legislative delegation was able to accomplish for this community.”
Bradley, chair of the Appropriations Subcommittee on the Environment and Natural Resources, pushed for and got recurring funds of $13.3 million earmarked for water replenishment in the St. Johns River and Keystone Heights Lake Region.
We reported on this issue earlier this year.
“After years of researching and talking and planning, we now have actual funding to start addressing the needs of these wonderful natural resources that define our region,” Bradley remarked.
Another Clay County project with regional importance: $135M for the First Coast Expressway, increasingly necessary as Northeast Florida continues to grow and face transportation capacity challenges.
