PADD Director Jerrod Haberman presented an update on the Heartland Expressway project at the US Highway 85 Corridor Initiative's October 14 Annual Meeting in Williston, North Dakota.
Jerrod emphasized the Great Plains region is worth the nation's investment due to our economic opportunities in core industries such as agriculture, gas, oil, and wind development along with our strong work ethic, quality schools, low crime rates, good health, affordable housing, and low unemployment. Jerrod stressed that without support from the federal and state governments to invest in strategic infrastructure projects like the Ports to Plains Alliance corridors, many quality places throughout the Great Plains could lose their vitality.
