Massive win for Columbia. $204 million! We've all been stuck on Assembly Steet, it's a bummer. Nice work @RepJamesClyburn 👍
Eliminating the disruptive railroad crossings on Assembly Street in downtown Columbia has been a priority of mine for over 30 years. Thanks to President Biden's infrastructure law, we are finally getting it done.
