EILEEN’S POSITION ON THE INTERCOUNTY CONNECTOR |
|
 |
The InterCounty Connector, a new road between Laurel and Gaithersburg, has been a controversial proposal since it’s inception. Some environmentalists are opposed, others realize that idling for hours in traffic creates more environmental hazards, especially air pollution, than new highway construction. Eileen Rehrmann believes that the worst decision is no decision, which is why she supports the ICC. Eileen knows that this is a decision that won’t please everyone, but firmly believes that it is in the best interest of Maryland. Not only are there environmental factors favoring the ICC, but powerful economic arguments as well. Poor or non-existent roads, of which Maryland has plenty, cost jobs. Companies looking to relocate base their decision in large part on the quality of the transportation infrastructure. They want employees to have easy access to their new facilities, and delivery trucks to have easy access to customers. That’s just good business sense. Eileen Rehrmann recognizes that it is just good business sense for Maryland to ensure it long-term economic and environmental health. She believe that by working together a real, viable solution can and will be found, that will balance the needs and demands of current and future economic growth with preserving Beautiful Maryland.
