Oct. 8, 2019 – November is shaping up to be a busy month on Capitol Hill. When planning a fly-in for the industry, first and foremost is to ensure Congress will be in session. Well, the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association’s (NSSGA) Legislative & Policy Forum will not lack for activity and urgency this November. “As we gather our army of aggregates advocates to meet with members of Congress, funding for the federal government is set to expire Nov. 21 during the week of our Legislative & Policy Forum,” NSSGA stated. “The funding was extended through this date to allow leaders of both political parties to negotiate the FY2020 spending bills. Among those spending bills are investments in road construction, runway and airport improvements, rail networks, port improvements and other infrastructure projects. As we storm the Hill on Nov.19, Congress will be keenly focused on federal funding important to your business.”
NSSGA’s Legislative & Policy Forum will offer fertile ground for us to make the case for the aggregates industry and policies important to allowing success. You can register here.
