MERCED, CA – Rep. Adam Gray (CA-13) announced today that the Department of Transportation (DOT) is directing over $7.4 million in grant funding to airport improvement projects in Chowchilla, Madera, Atwater and Gustine.

In Merced, one situation perfectly illustrates the problems created when political promises collide with cold, hard reality.
The Central Valley is where America’s food grows. Our agricultural communities, working families and small businesses depend on being able to move goods to market efficiently. We need stable roads and transportation infrastructure to make that happen, but right now, we are being held hostage by an administration that tried to cut red tape and instead tied itself into knots.
California’s water system, constructed in partnership with the federal government, was built on a predictable weather cycle every calendar year. Throughout the winter, snow piles in the Sierra before it melts in late spring and flows throughout the state just when farms need it most. For decades, this cycle, paired with our world-class water infrastructure, allowed for reliable water deliveries, captured excess flows in reservoirs and efficiently moved supply to refill our groundwater tables. But that rhythm is slowly changing.
