Dear john,
On November 5, 2021, I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which was signed into law by President Biden, and included over $3.4 billion to update technology, reduce wait times, and decrease the carbon footprint of land ports of entry across the country. The General Services Administration (GSA) set aside $650-$700 million for the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) to modernize its facilities for administration and improve facilities for pedestrian, passenger, commercial, and primary inspections.
As GSA continues working on this massive investment in our community, I encourage you to get involved in voicing your feedback on this project. GSA will have a public meeting about the BOTA project schedule and more tomorrow. Spanish translations will be available for attendees.
I encourage you to attend this community meeting to learn more about the work GSA has done and to make your voice heard on the project. Our land ports of entry are vital to the economic prosperity of El Paso, Texas, and the nation, and constituents like yourself should share their thoughts and concerns about a project that will impact our community.
