Abstract

On March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law a bill that extends local Interstate 27 from Raton, New Mexico to Laredo, Texas. Congressman Jodey Arrington for Texas’ 19th Congressional District, Congressman Henry Cuellar for Texas’ 28th Congressional District, with support from West Texas A&M University’s Congressman, Rep. Ronny Jackson, helped push for the Port-To-Plains Alliance’s goal of extending I-27 from Canada to Mexico.
