The leader of the Soy Transportation Coalition has high expectations for the recently passed infrastructure law. Executive Director Mike Steenhoek tells Brownfield he’s pleased much of the road work will be handled locally. “A lot of that money will just be provided to the state departments of transportation, so you’re not creating a new bureaucracy, and so a lot of this work will be reimbursable to the state departments of transportation for roads and bridges.”
Steenhoek says many of the Mississippi River lock and dam projects have already been authorized and are ready to go as soon as they have money to begin.
