Washington, D.C.,
July 14, 2022
Today, Congressman David Rouzer (NC-07) joined Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Republicans in hosting a roundtable with key industry stakeholders to discuss inflation's impact on infrastructure. Congressman Rouzer was pleased to welcome Wilmington City Councilman Luke Waddell to the roundtable to discuss the challenges of rising inflation on municipal infrastructure projects in the City of Wilmington. "Today's roundtable gave a stark portrayal of inflation's impact on infrastructure projects across the country and demonstrates the immediate need to do something about it. I thank Councilman Waddell for participating and for highlighting the challenges the City of Wilmington faces due to rising inflation. Unfortunately, families and communities across NC-07 and America are being hit hard by the same inflationary pressures further delaying or scaling back critical projects. Congress must put the brakes on runaway federal spending and enact policies that incentivize work, investment, and production." — Congressman David Rouzer "I am grateful for the opportunity to address the T&I Committee on the challenges that rising inflation has caused the City of Wilmington, North Carolina, especially as related to planned infrastructure and capital improvement projects." — Wilmington City Councilman Luke Waddell Click here to watch the roundtable.
