Expert on Cross-Border Infrastructure to Speak at Conference on Trump Policy
Boom in Construction and Energy Anticipated FromTrump
The conference will cover the role of the states, public-private partnerships, and the reception President Trump’s ambitious plans will get on Capitol Hill.
WASHINGTON, D.C., USA, January 16, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Infrastructure 2017, the conference on business opportunities under the Trump administration, to be held in Washington, D.C., on April 3-4, announces that Jon Sorenson, president of the New England-Canada Business Council (NECBC), will be a featured speaker.— Llewellyn King, Host "White House Chronicle"
Sorenson believes that there will be a boom along the Canadian border if the Trump administration simply changes the rules.
“After President Obama canceled the Keystone XL oil pipeline, other projects were shelved, one after another, along the border,” he said. “I expect President Trump will resuscitate most of these projects.”
Sorenson believes that many infrastructure projects in New England and Canada will forge ahead with the right signals and support from Washington.
“The beauty of these projects is that they are not seeking federal money, just unwavering endorsement from Washington,” he said. “Most of the projects have tremendous benefit to the United States and Canada, creating jobs and tax revenues, all while reducing emissions to move product.
Sorenson added, “Our members are ready to go forward, using their own money for projects that have been delayed in the wake of the Keystone decision but, again, are a tremendous benefit to both countries.”
Infrastructure 2017 is being convened by “White House Chronicle,” the news and public affairs television program, now in its 20th year on PBS. It will take place in the Founders conference room of Dentons, the global law firm, at 1900 K Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20006.
NECBC was formed in 1981 to bring together businesses and individuals with an interest in developing economic, business and cultural affairs between New England and Canada. During 2015, U.S. companies exported over $280 billion in goods and services to Canada.
Llewellyn King, conference chairman and executive producer of “White House Chronicle” said, “We hope to point contractors and other interested parties to infrastructure rebuilding opportunities under the new administration. The conference will cover the role of the states, public-private partnerships, and the reception President Trump’s ambitious plans will get on Capitol Hill.”
