The Winston-Salem Chamber of Commerce recently held a transportation summit. This event was conducted in order to give a forum to local elected leaders to speak out about transportation concerns affecting citizens and businesses alike.
The turn-out was exceptional with representatives from most area communities. The elected officials had the chance to ask specific questions of the State Transportation Secretary regarding road improvement projects and new traffic mitigation projects in and around Winston that have been on the back burner for quite some time.
Most folks know the headache that heavy traffic can bring, but many don't realize the economic impact that crowded and hard to access roads have on critical logistics for business hubs in our area. These improvements or lack thereof will dictate whether or not our region is looked to when new business look to locate to our area or existing businesses decide whether or not to expand or even remain.
Great news piece prior to the event...recognize anyone?
