Celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the public works board and public works assistance account.

This Senate Resolution (SR 8607) formally celebrates the 40th anniversary of Washington State's Public Works Board and Public Works Assistance Account, established in 1985. It recognizes the program's role in providing low-interest loans and grants to local governments for critical infrastructure projects like water systems, roads, and bridges. The resolution does not create new policy or funding - it solely acknowledges the program's historical impact, including over $3.5 billion invested in 2,200+ projects since 1985. The Senate resolved to honor this achievement as a testament to the program's contribution to public health, safety, and community infrastructure.
