Road and infrastructure construction – great for Joplin
Lots of road construction going on around Joplin.
What does that mean to area businesses?
Joplin Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Travis Stephens explains to Newstalk KZRG:
“The impact is huge. People want to get to those businesses more conveniently. Businesses want more access to more customers, better infrastructure just means more activity. And that doesn’t just go to roads, it also includes a lot of what the city’s doing, with the fiber (internet) being put throughout the city and getting to homes that haven’t had it before, so that online infrastructure is just as important as the road infrastructure.”
