Birmingham Business Alliance plans D.C. trip on key issues
The group departs the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport on an 8:20 a.m. flight to Baltimore on Wednesday and is slated to return on a flight arriving in Birmingham at 8:55 p.m. next Thursday.
The BBA group's agenda includes a breakfast with U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile, and a luncheon with U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Tuscaloosa. BBA participants will also participate in briefings with U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Vestavia Hills, and U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham.
While the BBA leadership and members will be discussing more than a dozen important issues, they will place particular focus on funding for the Northern Beltline plus key research and infrastructure projects at UAB.
The entire BBA federal and state legislative agendas for 2011 are available online.
