EAST WENATCHEE – US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg toured Wenatchee and East Wenatchee on Thursday. Buttigieg was here to survey an Apple Capital Loop project that got $92 million in federal Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant funds. The funding will allow the City of Wenatchee to construct a network of projects on an 11-mile loop, including intersection improvements to SR 285/North Wenatchee Avenue, construction of a railroad underpass on McKittrick Street, and a roundabout at US 2/Easy Street.
