"Improving infrastructure continues to be one of our top priorities," said Lake County Board Chair Sandy Hart. "The Lake County Board is proud to be investing more than $500 million in transportation over the next six years. We also continue to advocate for our state and federal partners to invest in much-needed projects such as railroad grade separations, so people spend less time sitting in traffic and the transportation of goods and services keeps flowing."
