Transportation construction groups: ABC plan a ‘positive first step’

Published



A collection of groups representing Virginia’s transportation construction industry called Gov. Bob McDonnell’s plan to use $500 million from privatizing the state’s liquor stores a “positive step” on Thursday.

“We believe the revenues from privatization represent a positive first step in building a plan for statewide transportation improvements,” the release from seven groups, including the Virginia Transportation Construction Alliance and several contractors associations, reads. “Doing so would enable Virginia to continue to offer a high quality of life both for its citizens and for the businesses that depend on a modern, efficient transportation network.”
