Representatives with the U.S. Department of Transportation held a roundtable with Montgomery city and county leaders and community advocates.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - There is a renewed focus in Montgomery on critical infrastructure. Thursday, city and county leaders discussed how best to meet those critical needs. They say the right investments today will pay dividends in the future.
“It connects business with markets, people with opportunities, and communities with each other,” said LaBarron Boone, chairman of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce.“We understand from water and sewer to roads and streets and bridges, to our river to our airports that infrastructure is important and investing in that today will prove dividends for us in the long term,” said Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed.
“Montgomery laid out a great vision. So you have a great group of leaders who believe in Montgomery. They want to make the right investment and understand the value of partnership,” said Alvin Brown, a National Transportation Safety Board member. “They have been very receptive and overly involved in making sure that we’re doing the right things, and that we know what information is needed in order to attain federal support and federal support through grants as well as through appropriations,” said Reed.
