Construction Coalition Creates Campaign Aimed at Funding Iowa Crumbling Road Network

NRMCA Vice President, National Resources, Jon Hansen reports that a newly created organization - The Iowa Good Roads Association - has been formed with $80,000 in funding from the ready mix concrete, asphalt, aggregate, cement and contractor sectors. The aim is to force the state's governor to support a fuel tax increase for road construction. "So it is never one material against another, it is about building good roads and bridges," Hansen said.
