    The Blue Line’s newest challenge? Where to find $292 million.

    The METRO Blue Line Extension project faces a $279 million funding gap after its cost increased from $1.5 billion to $3.385 billion, with a potential 2033 start date. Local officials are frustrated as traditional funding sources are restricted, and efforts to reduce the contingency fund may only cover part of the shortfall.
