The Maine Real Estate & Development Association (MEREDA) is planning its 2022 Annual Spring Conference on May 24, 2022 at the Holiday Inn By the Bay. DECD Commissioner, Heather Johnson, MDOT Commissioner Bruce Van Note, & Dr. Charles Colgan to speak on the Infrastructure Bill’s Impact on Maine. Infrastructure 2022: Bridges, Broadband, & Roads: What the Infrastructure bill means for Maine’s real estate economy. No matter what party you are affiliated with – there has been talk in the last decade by the federal government of the need for a widespread investment in America. The recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act addresses the need to rebuild roads, bridges, water/wastewater, critical housing and support and expand overall connectivity – be it physically related to transportation as well as broadband access. The roughly $1.2 trillion bill contains an estimated $550 billion in new spending above baseline levels. This spending touches every sector of infrastructure, from transportation and water to energy, broadband, and the resilience and rehabilitation of our nation’s natural resources. We have a great panel of experts that will be joining us. Join your colleagues and other professionals at MEREDA’s 2022 Spring Conference, meet and greet clients and learn about the impact these dollars will have on Maine and the region as the federal and state government disperse these funds. We’ll also unveil the 2022 MEREDA Index, as well as recognize our 2021 Notable Project Recipients!
