Sussman at Southwestern Rail Conference: Lessons learned from Nevada State Rail Plan
SRF CEO Michael Sussman recently spoke at the 18th Annual Southwestern Rail Conference in Dallas on the principles and tools used to produce the groundbreaking 2021 Nevada State Rail Plan. SRF’s sister nonprofit OnTrackNorthAmerica is now contracted by Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development to establish the Southwest Supply Chain Coalition for implementation of the rail plan’s findings. Watch the video of Michael’s talk here.
