The weather is heating up and so are we! The Connector team, which includes me, our engineering team, environmental team and public outreach team, has been getting out of the office and talking with various business and community groups over the past couple of months.

We have the opportunity to be innovative in the development of the Connector and not build “just another roadway.”
