Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, one of the country's most recognizable voices of leadership for infrastructure investment, will join the Board of the Lincoln Institute of land Policy.
"We welcome Ray LaHood and applaud his leadership in transportation and infrastructure, which are critical components of our work in global urbanization, sustainable cities, and land policy," said Kathryn J. Lincoln, chair of the board and chief investment officer for the Lincoln Institute, in a press release announcing LaHood's new role.
The Cambridge-based Lincoln Institute made news throughout 2014, with a report comparing property taxes in all 50 states and with an op-ed in the Boston Globe in support of community land trusts and inclusionary housing.
LaHood assumed a new role, as co-chair of Building America's Future, in January of 2014.
