NAFTA Superhighway Heads North
The Texas Department of Transportation, or TxDOT, is now moving to apply its four-football-fields-wide NAFTA superhighway plan of building new train-truck-car-pipeline corridors to the states of Oklahoma and Colorado in a design that stretches from the Mexican border at Laredo, Texas, to Denver, Colo. To advance this plan, the Ports-to-Plains Trade Corridor Coalition, a trade association sponsored by the consulates of Mexico and Canada, along with the TxDOT and the Colorado Department of Transportation, is co-sponsoring a Great Plains 2007 international conference scheduled to be held at the Adam’s Mark Hotel in Denver Sept. 19-21, 2007. The conference brochure recommends that the confab be attended by real estate developers, transportation planners, highway services business executives, as well as state, local, county, and municipal public officials and international trade professionals. |
