Anthony Foxx, Andrew Wheeler, Shoshana Lew to Participate in Infrastructure Week 2019
Not to be confused with the occasional White House announcement of an “infrastructure week,” the actual Infrastructure Week is scheduled for May 13-20, with events in Washington and throughout the country.
Former Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, chief policy officer at ride-sharing firm Lyft, will participate in a kickoff event at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington on May 13. U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue and National League of Cities President Karen Freeman-Wilson, who also is mayor of Gary, Ind., are scheduled to take part in the event, which organizers indicated is expected to focus on “how to fund infrastructure at the national, state and local level.”
