Equitable Infrastructure Group & Equitable Infrastructure Week

Work on The New Terminal One's east pier is progressing steadily, with several milestones reached in the past week! In recent days, our team completed the steel erection on the east pier and celebrated the placement of the final primary beam (as seen in the first photo). Escalator installation is also continuing in the east pier and we recently added the last pre-fabricated escalator (seen in the second photo), located near our future Gate 7. Installation of such pre-fabricated escalators requires careful coordination among all teams on site, as installations must be timed to take place during brief breaks in the steel erection schedule. Going forward, all future escalators at the New Terminal One will be installed in the conventional fashion – assembled and installed in sections. Many thanks to our workers for your hard work everyday, as we mark milestone after milestone!

Four years ago today, the world lost one of the most inspirational leaders of our time – Representative John Lewis. Relentless in his pursuit of equality, Rep. Lewis continues to serve as an example of how, through our collective efforts, we can bring lasting change home. At the Obama Foundation, we were lucky enough to have Rep. Lewis’ involvement in a number of our programs, including My Brother's Keeper Alliance. On the anniversary of his passing, take a look at how his legacy will live on at the Obama Presidential Center: https://lnkd.in/dMaa6qm5

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth, a significant day in American history that marks the emancipation of the last enslaved African Americans in 1865. This day is a powerful reminder of the enduring struggle for freedom, equality, and justice. At the Equitable Infrastructure Group, we are committed to building a future where every community has access to the opportunities and resources needed to thrive. Juneteenth is not just a commemoration of the past, but a call to action for the present and future. It inspires us to continue our work in ensuring that our infrastructure projects serve all communities equitably, and that we break down barriers that have historically marginalized and underserved so many. As we reflect on this day, let us reaffirm our dedication to creating inclusive and resilient infrastructures that honor the legacy of those who fought for freedom and justice. Together, we can build a more equitable and just society for all. #Juneteenth #Equity #Justice #Infrastructure #EIG
