Special Briefing: Strategies for Closing the US Infrastructure Gap
From the deteriorating Gowanus Expressway in Brooklyn, New York, to the aging dams that supply about 70 percent of California’s water, America’s public infrastructure is badly in need of fixing. The nation is estimated to have accumulated about $1 trillion in deferred infrastructure maintenance, and even more will be needed to rebuild or retrofit roads, water plants, schools, and electrical grids to withstand the punishments of increasingly extreme weather. Join our panel of experts as we discuss the state of America’s infrastructure and how some states are developing strategies to better identify and fund needed investments.
