Maryland Congressional Delegation Urged to Support Infrastructure Investments
The Maryland Chamber, together with 16 local chambers of commerce, sent a letter to Maryland’s congressional delegation yesterday, urging them to support an economic stimulus package that would invest in infrastructure and transportation projects. View a pdf version of the letter here.
“Our organizations support new investments in improving our roads, highways, bridges and rail; expanding transit; and ensuring the long-term viability of our ports and airports. We also support funding of utility infrastructure as an economic stimulus solution that creates jobs, lowers energy costs and addresses climate change,” the letter stated.
