Letter

Gov. Jay Inslee sent a letter to members of the Washington congressional delegation that details his priorities for infrastructure and clean energy in federal infrastructure legislation through the president's "American Jobs Plan."

The letter reads, in part:

"I have asked my staff, our Cabinet, and executive branch agency leaders to identify strategic investment priorities to address unmet infrastructure needs in Washington state. They identified the following 13 areas as priorities:

Broadband
Building Construction and Retrofits
Clean Water Infrastructure
Climate and Clean Energy
Communities and Housing
Early Learning and Education Facilities
Food Security
Forest, Watershed Health and Water Resources
Hazard Mitigation and Resilience
Labor and Workforce
Public Health
Salmon and Orca Recovery
Transportation
"These strategic priorities represent traditional infrastructure needs as well as those that would benefit strongly from renewed federal investment. In each area, we welcome one-time funding, and identify throughout where new or increased sustained funding for annual programs and policy reforms can contribute to economic recovery, provide public benefit, and help address persistent systemic inequities."
