Solid Infrastructure Builds A Nation; It Also Buttresses A Family Business

Infrastructure. The dictionary defines it as an “underlying foundation or basic framework.” In public policy circles, infrastructure means public works like transportation systems, communication networks, sewage, water, and electric systems. In a family business, infrastructure means entrepreneurs bound by love, respect and history.

As congress debates passage of the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package, I spoke with Ellie Kassner of W.H. Kassner, Inc. to learn more about how the bill would impact Rockland County.
