Transportation Effects on

Commercial Development

Are you ever curious about how transportation projects are selected or what the key factors in each development are? Interested in learning what an MPO is? Or a COG? Join us for our April luncheon to learn about the long-range plans for transportation in the upstate. You'll hear about recent projects in the upstate and how they were structured.
