PRESIDENT & CEO, IDAHO ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Those of us who build and maintain Idaho’s vital transportation network agree whole‐heartedly with Governor Little who stated during his annual State of the State address on Monday, “One thing I consistently hear about is our transportation system. In a growing state, we must move people and products as safely and efficiently as possible.”

Construction spending totaled $1.324 trillion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in November, up 0.6% from the upwardly revised October rate and up 4.1% year-over-year (y/y) from November 2018, the Census Bureau reported today.

Delta Dental of Idaho members can now receive discounts on Idaho Steelheads hockey tickets!

What is the discounted ticket price?
Tickets which normally sell for $20 per person will be sold exclusively to Delta Dental of Idaho members for $12 per person. That’s a savings of $32 for a family of four! This discount is provided by the Idaho Steelheads and is not insurance.

How do I acquire discounted tickets?
Members simply show their Delta Dental of Idaho ID card to an Idaho Steelheads box office employee to receive their discounted ticket. If a member does not have a physical ID card, they may use their digital ID card by signing into their Delta Dental mobile app. Members must purchase tickets in person to receive the discount. The Idaho Steelheads box office is located on the North side of the arena.
