The Pinal County Board of Supervisors today unanimously approved a $20 million commitment to the expansion of State Route 347, contingent on the state securing the remaining funds.
The pledge will be formally presented at the Arizona State Transportation Board meeting Friday in Yuma.
The vote passed 4-0, with Supervisor Mike Goodman absent but having pre-signed his approval. Supervisor Rich Vitiello (R-Maricopa), who has been working on the project since taking office in January, had put the measure on the agenda.
“There are roads that need to be built. This is one of them,” Vitiello told InMaricopa after the vote today. “We need to widen it.”
