The ACEC Research Institute is co-sponsoring the upcoming New Partnership on Infrastructure Forum, which will address how infrastructure investment can be critical to accelerating our economic recovery and generating the local opportunities and community wealth necessary to break generational cycles of inequality.

The Forum will feature an panel discussion with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, and Waterloo, IA Mayor Quentin Hart and the release of America’s New Playbook for Infrastructure, which offers specific and actionable recommendations for infrastructure investment based on interviews with the mayors of Chattanooga, Scranton, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Tampa, Kansas City, and Dayton, as well as other officials. All of the interviews took place since March, making the Playbook ready for this moment.
In addition to the ACEC Research Institute, the Forum is sponsored by Accelerator for America, HNTB, WSP USA, City Possible, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and Meridiam NA.
All comments to blog posts will be moderated by ACEC staff.
