Few area governmenft officials had even heard ofthe program. “We are just now learnint the details of these bonds and still have more analysito do,” said Philip Bransford, a Washington Counthy spokesman. “Garden variety bond financing is usually and this is not gardenvarietgy financing.
” The stimulus upshot is that local governments will obtain financing for economic developmenft projects. Sen. Ron Wyden, the Oregon Democrat who helped authorthe bill, said most of the fundsd will help build and repair the area’as infrastructure. “Making this substantial amount available tothe nation’s hardest-hity areas will surely speed up improvements to the nation’s agingt infrastructure and ailing economy,” Wydej said. “Oregon will see many jobs created and communities improvedf as these bonds are used tofinancd bridge, road, water, school, and transit projects all over the state.
