(KGNS) - Webb County commissioners have endorsed the Eastern Laredo Optimized Transportation (ELOTE) Plan during their recent meeting.The multi-phase project would create connections between highways 59 and 359 and other parts of the city to improve traffic flow in East Laredo.The Laredo Economic Coalition for Improved Highway Exchanges (LECHE), a nonprofit advocacy group pushing for more federal attention on Laredo’s infrastructure needs, presented the plan to the commissioners’ court on Monday, December 8.James Gonzalez, president of LECHE, said the county’s sponsorship signals local support to federal officials.“The importance of a local sponsor lets the federal government know that this is a project that is supported at the local level,” Gonzalez said. “The project sponsor is, of course, the entity that goes out and decides what this project ends up looking like.”Gonzalez said the sponsorship does not require the county to make fiscal commitments to the project, but allows the county to control the design process.The advocacy group said it has received letters of support from several agencies and landowners to help with funding efforts.For more headlines, click here.</div></body>
