Gov. Perdue Breaks Ground on NCDOT's First Recovery Project

North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue speaks at a groundbreaking ceremony for the N.C. Department of Transportation's first economy recovery project. She explains that widening U.S. 158 in Camden County will help alleviate congestion, create jobs and stimulate economic development.

Transcription of the video:

My number one job is to create jobs for all the people in North Carolina. So I am honored to be here today because that's exactly what we're doing here in Camden County and Pasquotank County.

This is Camden Causeway as it's known to all of us who's wanted it for a lot of years. The renovation of 158 is going to make a tremendous difference to North Eastern North Carolina.

You know it's one of the very first infrastructure projects that's been funded with recovery dollars and it's exciting to think that we're doing all these investments all over the state.

In the east, west, urban cities and small communities. So this project is a real good investment in our future.
