Dear PARA Member,

The Port Authority continues to celebrate its Centennial, and we now have another event to announce: it is an online symposium featuring a keynote talk by Rosemary Scanlon, an Advisor to PARA and former Chief Economist of the Port Authority. Titled “A Century of Progress: The Port Authority’s first 100 years,” it will be held on June 16, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

The theme of the second part of the symposium is "The past twenty-five years: Stewarding the region's economy. Thinking big. Solving problems." It will include two former Port Authority employees, Anne Strauss-Wieder and Martin Robins, who will be joined by two other panelists to discuss three major infrastructure projects: The Gateway Program, the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site and the Oculus Transportation Hub, and the raising of the Bayonne Bridge.

Please preregister in advance in order to attend this free online webinar: Click here to register.

The symposium, an event celebrating the Port Authority's Centennial, is sponsored by The Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.


Sincerely,


Your PARA Board
