Tri-State leaders are continuing their push for funding to complete I-69.
Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, Henderson Mayor Brad Staton and Henderson County Judge-Executive Brad Schneider, along with Tara Barney of the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership met with lawmakers in Washington D.C. Thursday.
According to Mayor Winnecke, they provided updates on the progress and showed a unified response from both Indiana and Kentucky.
He says they are currently working on a timeline that stretches to 2031, but these meetings might shorten it.
They are hopeful that they will get a grant somewhere between $250 and $350 million to accelerate the construction timeline.
