I-95 High-Speed Recovery

LandmarkJCM's Ted Williams was present at the July 25 rededication of the newly completed I-95 Newark Toll Plaza and its Highway Speed E-ZPass Lanes as a member of the Delaware Council on Transportation.

Transportation Secretary Shailen Bhatt hosted the ceremony, which included speakers Governor Jack Markell, U.S. Senators Tom Carper and Christopher Coons, U.S. Congressman John Carney, and Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez offering comments about the $32 million project which was fully funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Delaware-based A-Del Construction Company, of Newark, beat the projected 479 calendar day contract by over a month. Congratulations and thanks for the speedy completion, A-Del!

Great News from Delaware General Assembly!

The Delaware 146th General Assembly recessed on Wednesday June 30, 2011 for the year.

A highlight came on June 28, 2011 when the HBADE represented by Mark Grahne, Steve Bomberger and Fred Fortunato were recognized on the floor of the House as House Concurrent Resolution #24 sponsored by Representative Brady was passed. This Resolution Recognizes and Proclaims June as "New Homes Month".

In addition, the Delaware Green for Green Program received additional funds to extend it through 2012 and hopefully into 2013 with an additional $500,000 set aside for rebates for homebuyers of Green certified Homes!

Congrats Mark, Steve and Fred! And thank you Jen Casey for your advocacy to help Delaware provide this successful funding for such a wonderful program! Of course it goes without saying we thank our State officials to provide the funding!

Happy Fourth of July to all!
