Building America’s Future – New Hampshire: Bumpy Road

Building America’s Future of New Hampshire (BAF-NH), a statewide and bipartisan coalition dedicated to smart infrastructure investment and reform, today announced a television ad to run for three weeks on local network and cable.

“This is a substantial television ad buy intended to educate New Hampshire policymakers and voters on the need for smart infrastructure investment and reform,” said State Senate President Peter Bragdon (R-11), co-chair of BAF-NH. “According to an annual TRIP report, our state’s rural roads rank ninth-worst and deficient rural bridges rank 11th-worst in the nation. The shoddy condition of New Hampshire’s roads and bridges needlessly puts our neighbors in harm’s way, hurts our businesses, makes us less competitive and costs the state jobs. We support a long-term plan, reforms and increased accountability through audits, performance measures and bans on earmarks. Unless we make significant changes in our course and direction, our infrastructure will continue to deteriorate and a real opportunity to restore New Hampshire’s economy will be lost.”

Staten Island, NY: Then and Now

Posted by Infra on Monday, December 12th, 2011

On March 22, 2001, after 53 years of operation, the Fresh Kills Landfill received its final load of garbage. Staten Islanders had been fighting for decades to close the landfill, and with the help of former Governor George Pataki, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Borough President Guy Molinari, and former Congresswoman Susan Molinari, we were finally successful.

Now, Fresh Kills is being transformed into our City’s most glorious park. It will feature both active and passive recreational areas.
