Regional Group Goes to DC
March 11th, 2010
Economic Development leaders from Northwest Kentucky, Southwest Indiana, and Southeast Illinois, along with their Chamber of Commerce counterparts, recently participated in a joint mission to Washington, DC.
The group, which came out of the November 2008 Regional Economic Summit, is working together on areas of mutual concern. We met with Congressmen and Senators from the region, as well as DOT and key associations, to promote I-69 and US 50 as well as to encourage the members to carefully consider the impacts of both cap and trade legislation and the EPA’s recent moves to attempt to regulate greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air act.
Nearly every office commented on the uniqueness of seeing a tri-state region working together.
