Fort Worth Mayor Price to Talk Infrastructure With President

Betsy Price to attend White House meeting Monday

Fort Worth Mayor Betsy Price plans to meet with President Trump on Monday at the White House.

The meeting will focus on infrastructure and include mayors and governors from around the country.

Price is the only one from Texas.

The administration plans to unveil its program to spur $1.5 trillion in investment on the nation's infrastructure by offering cities and states federal money with fewer restrictions.

"It's important for Fort Worth to have a seat at the table," Price said. "We want to hear they aren't going to have so many strings attached."

Price said she was invited to attend the White House meeting and gladly accepted the honor.

Price first met the president in late January at the United States Conference of Mayors.

The mayor is the only public official from Texas expected to attend Monday’s meeting.
