THE SHOALS-The Shoals Chamber of Commerce joined more than 250 local, regional and state
chambers of commerce urging Congress to resolve the impending insolvency of the
federal Highway Trust Fund, and to pass a long term federal transportation authorization
bill.
Chambers of commerce know infrastructure investment is an important economic issue.
Steve Holt
Without a sustainable source of funding, the federal Highway Trust Fund will be in a
deep deficit that will require major cuts, or potential halts, in highway and transit projects
which would jeopardize much needed economic and job growth in our cities and regions.
“We know a reliable and resilient transportation network is vital to the economy,” says
Steve Holt, Shoals Chamber President. “We need a sustainable source of funding to grow
jobs and keep the country and the Shoals moving.”
