U.S bill to create Raleigh-Norfolk corridor gains support
(Triangle Business Journal- July 10, 2015)
The entire North Carolina delegation has now offered their support for the bill to designate the entire corridor from Raleigh to Norfolk as a future interstate.
The legislation is also a top priority for the Raleigh-based Regional Transportation Alliance business coalition. RTA Executive Director Joe Milazzo says connecting the two metropolitan job centers would “provide an economic lifeline for northeastern North Carolina and afford several counties their first direct access to the interstate system."
