Dept. of Transportation Chief to Speak at Designing the New West

New West Conference This Week!

By Jonathan Weber , 4-13-09

NewWest.Net is very pleased to announce that Jim Lynch, head of the Montana Department of Transportation, will be joining us for the Designing the New West conference, which takes place this coming Thursday and Friday in Bozeman. Lynch will discuss the economic stimulus program and how the money will flow to transportation projects around the state - and with road and bridge construction representing a major chunk of the stimulus spending, it should be an interesting conversation.

Lynch is the latest addition to a stellar speaker line-up, you can see all the details at www.newwest.net/design. We have about 20 tickets left for the event and expect to be sold out, so sign up today, and call 406-829-1725 with any questions.
