Cicilline among 12 mayors attending speech as part of USCM delegation

Mayor David N. Cicilline is among a delegation of 12 mayors from across the country invited by President-elect Barack Obama to George Mason University in Virginia today as the President-elect unveils his economic stimulus plan for America.

 

Mayor Cicilline will join the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) delegation at a briefing with the President-elect in advance of his 11 a.m. speech at George Mason University and will be available for interviews immediately following the speech.

 

The USCM recently presented its “Ready to Go” report to congress detailing infrastructure improvement projects in cities across the country that could be started immediately and completed in two years if federal emergency funds were made available.  The report contains over $570 million worth of infrastructure improvement projects slated for the Providence metropolitan area that would stimulate the economy and has the potential to create more than 6,600 jobs.
