EPSRC – NSF International Infrastructure Workshop: The Role of Funding, Financing and Emerging Technologies in Delivering and Managing Infrastructure for the 21st Century
July 11-15, 2022
Report from the EPSRC-NSF Infrastructure Workshop
July 31, 2024, 10am
CPIP’s Director Professor Rick Geddes testified about the economic benefits and challenges of federal infrastructure investments before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing , and Urban Affairs.
“There ARE reasons for optimism in the infrastructure outlook. There is an opportunity for the private sector to take on a larger role in financing US infrastructure beyond that provided by the federal government. The BIL took steps to encourage greater private participation by increasing the national limit on Private Activity Bonds (or PABs) for qualified projects from 15 billion dollars to 30 billion dollars. But more can be done. These arrangements can bring American infrastructure delivery up to global standards through better cooperation between the public and private sectors.”
