Trade and Transportation Reports

2007-11-04

The "Trade and Transportation Infrastructure Investment Strategy Project" will examine in detail the current and future opportunities for regional and international trade development and correlate these opportunities with specific transportation infrastructure needs that must be met to insure that these trade opportunities can happen. This project will, in essence, provide the Northern Great Plains region (Region) with the opportunity to proactively think about its economic future and then recommend strategic actions the Region can take to ensure that healthy economic future.
