To rate each state's infrastructure, we look at roads, bridges, ports and airports. New in 2024, we evaluate so-called site readiness programs set up in many states to link companies with shovel-ready sites. The Economic Development Partnership of Alabama offers one of the more robust site readiness programs in the nation. Roads, bridges, and broadband are also in excellent shape in Tennessee. A respectable 24% of the state's power comes from renewable energy, putting it in the top half of states.

CHICAGO (AP) — A plane taxiing for departure clipped another aircraft at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Sunday evening, the Federal Aviation Administration said Monday. No injuries were reported, both planes were of Boeing design, and the FAA says it will investigate the incident. The All Nippon Airways flight was a Boeing 777, and the Delta Airlines aircraft was a Boeing 717. Raymond Bongalon, a customer service representative with All Nippon Airways, said Monday afternoon that the airline could not yet provide any information on what happened. The airline's flight status search said Flight 11 was bound for Tokyo but canceled because of “aircraft inspection.”The Chicago Department of Aviation did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Illustration by Gene KimAs weed becomes legal in more states, how and if travelers can bring their stash on board remains up in the air. Traveling between states where marijuana is legal in both the origin and destination may sound straight-forward, but with overlapping jurisdictions and hard-to-enforce guidelines, it gets complicated. Under federal law, the possession and sale of marijuana is illegal. Despite President Joe Biden's recent pardons for anyone convicted of a federal crime for simple possession and his directive to review how marijuana is scheduled under federal law, marijuana is still classified as a Schedule I substance. And even though airports are locally owned and operated, air travel still falls under federal law.

Un bărbat a trăit trei luni în aeroportul din Chicago de teama Covid-19Un bărbat a fost descoperit că a trăit într-o zonă securizată din aeroportul internaţional din Chicago timp de trei luni, iar el a spus poliţiei că i-a fost prea frică de Covid-19 să se întoarcă acasă, în Los Angeles, relatează The Guardian. Aditya Singh, în vârstă de 36 de ani, a fost arestat în weekend şi acuzat că a pătruns într-o zonă restricţionată a unui aeroport şi furt, a scris Chicago Tribune. După aproximativ trei luni, sâmbătă după-amiază, Singh a fost abordat de doi angajaţi ai United Airlines care i-au cerut documente de identificare. Hagerty a spus că Singh a găsit legitimaţia în aeroport şi că „se temea din cauza Covid-19 să plece acasă”. A fost precizat că incidentul va fi anchetat în continuare, nefiind clar cum a fost posibil ca timp de trei luni bărbatul - „care nu reprezintă un risc pentru securitate” - să nu fie remarcat în aeroport.
