SALEM, Ore. – The 81st Oregon Legislative Assembly concluded their regular five-month session on June 26, 2021. Because of the effort and relationships built by Rep. Suzanne Weber, rural Northwest Oregon will be receiving funding for numerous needed infrastructure projects, including:

  • City of Astoria 16th St. Water Distribution Line Replacement – $2,790,000
  • City of Astoria Wastewater Treatment Plant – $4,860,000
  • City of Astoria Pipeline Road Waterline Resilience – $2,930,000
  • City of Astoria Public Library Renovation – $420,000
  • Clatsop Community College Maritime Science Building – $8,120,000
  • Tillamook Bay Community College, Classroom and Office Building Renovations – $8,125,000
  • Columbia River Maritime Museum Lightship Columbia Preservation – $304,378
  • City of Tillamook Water Transmission Line Replacement – $12,000,000
  • City of Nehalem Anderson Creek Raw Water Transmission Main – $400,000
  • City of Bay City Well and Wastewater Treatment resiliency – $820,000
  • City of Cannon Beach Resiliency Project – $360,000

“We fought for every penny we could get for rural Northwest Oregon,” said Rep. Suzanne Weber. “I’m proud to have won over $33 million in unprecedented investment in the infrastructure of our communities, which means not only improved infrastructure, but good-paying jobs for working families. We didn’t get everything we wanted, but we got a lot, and I’ll be going back as soon as I can to fight for more if we can get it.”
“Rep. Weber was a fierce advocate for rural Northwest Oregon throughout the Ways and Means process,” remarked Rep. Greg Smith, co-vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Ways & Means. “That’s evidenced by the unprecedented number of projects that were funded in House District 32. Rural Northwest Oregon is fortunate to have an advocate that is so laser-focused on the needs of the community as is Suzanne Weber.”
