Congresswoman Claudia Tenney Advocates for Short Line Railroads During New York Visit
New York Congresswoman Claudia Tenney recently visited the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad's headquarters and locomotive shop in Lakeville, New York. During her visit, Tenney, a cosponsor of H.R. 516, discussed the significance of federal and state rail grant programs and the modernization of the 45G short line railroad infrastructure tax credit. The visit highlighted the railroad's role in supporting local businesses, with over $400 million in customer investment planned or underway along its lines. Tenney's engagement with the railroad underscores the importance of maintaining relationships with elected officials to stay informed about industry changes and to advocate for policies that support economic growth and competitiveness.
