Hyperloop CEO meets with Gov. Parson, Speaker Haahr about I-70 project
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The CEO of Virgin Hyperloop One, Jay Walder, visited the Missouri State Capitol Friday to meet with Gov. Mike Parson.
The meeting preceded a trip to Springfield, Missouri to meet with House Speaker Elijah Haahr, and succeeded a Thursday meeting in Columbia with UM System President Mun Choi.
The visits were all focused on the further development of plans for an ultra-high-speed hyperloop system across Missouri along the I-70 route between Kansas City and St. Louis.
Walder told ABC 17 News that one of the main attributes his company sees in the Show Me state is the cooperation of the government, the university and local businesses.
