Members of the Tennessee Chamber’s Infrastructure Advisory Council Steering Committee recently traveled to Washington, D.C. for Infrastructure Week to meet with Congressman Scott DesJarlais and Congressman David Kustoff to discuss the importance of strengthening Tennessee’s infrastructure to support economic growth, workforce development, and thriving communities across our state.

We appreciate the opportunity to continue these important conversations and advocate for infrastructure investments that keep Tennessee moving forward.
