Clark County will finally get funding for a much-anticipated list of infrastructure and construction projects after Gov. Jay Inslee signed the $4.2 billion capital budget on Friday.

Clark County will also receive portions of appropriations included in the budget for other projects geared toward mental health and conservation.
