ROLLA, Mo – The June meeting of the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission will be held in Rolla at the Missouri University of Science and Technology's Hasselmann Alumni House.
The meeting is open to the public and will begin at 1:30 p.m. In addition to MoDOT staff, Cuba Plain and Ted Ruth from Missouri S&T, Mayor Louis J. Magdits IV of Rolla and Bonnie Prigge, executive director of the Meramec Regional Planning Commission, will be presenting on how local governments and organizations can continue to work together on maintaining and improving Missouri’s transportation system.
The Commission typically meets in Jefferson City for the first five months of the year, while the legislature is in session. They then travel throughout the state for the remaining seven meetings of the year.
“We are honored to have the Commission visit another city in the central Missouri,” says District Engineer David Silvester. “We’re especially excited to hold this meeting at the Missouri S&T campus. Engineering and technology play a huge role in the transportation system in Missouri and the university’s students represent and will play a part in the future of innovation across Missouri and at MoDOT.”
