Delaney Meets with Greater Cumberland Committee, Discusses Economic Development and North-South Highway

WASHINGTON – Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6) met with the Greater Cumberland Committee today in his Washington office. Joining Congressman Delaney were Brenda Smith, Executive Director of The Greater Cumberland Committee; Mike Koch, Director of Garrett County Maryland Economic Development; Dave Moe, Coordinator of the North-South Appalachian Highway Coalition; Richard Collins, President of Mel’s Business Systems; and Katherine Getty, Regional President of Susquehanna Bank.  

“My meeting with the Greater Cumberland Committee was very productive and I look forward to working with the Committee, as well as Mayor Grim and other community leaders to ensure we’re doing everything we can to spur economic development in Allegany County,” said Congressman Delaney. “One key area I’d like to focus on, both locally and at the national level, is infrastructure. Projects like the North-South Highway will create jobs in the short-term and allow our businesses to compete for decades to come. I know how important job growth is to Western Maryland and my door will always be open.”

Last month Delaney announced that he would soon unveil infrastructure funding legislation. To read Delaney’s infrastructure framework, click here.
