ACEC on-Hand for Sec. Buttigieg Visit to Albany

Earlier today, U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Gov. Kathy Hochul were in the Albany Capital Region to announce $21 million in funding for safety and reliability improvements to the Castleton-on-Hudson bridge, where the New York State Thruway crosses the Hudson River, connecting Albany and Schenectady counties.

ACEC leaders were invited by the White House to the event, with members of the ACEC National Executive Committee and New York MO executive leadership in attendance.
