    Welcome to CATALYST!

    The I-39 Logistics Corridor Association is pleased to present this issue of CATALYST, the e-newsletter designed to establish "Superior Transportation Infrastructure in the I-39 Logistics Corridor and the Chicago Region". This e-newsletter contains information that helps corridor members stay informed and assisting the association further its goals. We welcome your feedback to the CATALYST and to our group's work, and encourage you to pass this newsletter on to those you may know who would benefit from becoming involved in I-39 Logistics Corridor Association as well.

    We had a very successful AIRE luncheon sponsorship in April. The members who attended networked with the AIRE members. Our coverage from the podium was well done. Thanks to those members who came.
