WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito, leader of the Senate Appropriations Committee, has announced $1.5 million for the proposed Harmony Grove interchange project off I-79 in the Fiscal Year 2024 Transportation Funding Bill.
Once the budget is adopted, Harmony Grove project funds will be awarded.
Senator Capito has conducted site visits to the area and Mountaintop Beverage, which will depend on the interchange to ramp up to full production and limit truck traffic on surface streets in Westover.
Over the last year, Senator Capito has sent a letter to United States Transportation Secretary Buttigieg requesting swift approval of the Interchange Justification Report and raised the issue directly with Secretary Buttigieg during an April 2022 appropriations subcommittee hearing.
