NEC Committee Expands to Transportation & Infrastructure
|
The New England Council is pleased to announce that we are expanding our Transportation Committee to be the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee. Historically, the New England Council's Transportation Committee has focused primarily on transportation issues as well as infrastructure issues from time to time. However, as both Congress and the Administration are expected to focus significantly on infrastructure in the near future, we believe it is appropriate to expand the Council's committee and formalize its role in advocating not just for transportation policy, but for infrastructure investment more broadly. We encourage any one of our members with an interest in all topics related to infrastructure to join the expanded, whether you are in construction, finance, energy, telecommunications, etc. If you would like to join the Council's expanded Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, please contact
Peter Phipps.
