The highway community as well as industry professionals from across the State will gather in downtown Albany in support of increased funding for local roads and bridges. Our advocacy program begins on Tuesday evening, March 6, with a budget briefing and strategy meeting at The Albany Hotel (a Hilton affiliate, formerly the Crowne Plaza -- same hotel as last year.) At Tuesday's briefing we will update you on the status of state budget negotiations and the latest political developments.
Position papers, talking points and other handouts will be distributed at the briefing. On Wednesday, March 7th attendees will gather for an early breakfast and briefing at the hotel before boarding shuttles to go up the hill to the Legislative Office Building [about two blocks] for appointments with state lawmakers and their staff.
