AGC Plan Makes the Case For Infrastructure Investment Association calls for reforms to federal programs

摘要

AGC recently released "The Case for Infra structure & Reform," a new report that makes a compelling case for a continued federal role in investing in infrastructure while concurrently calling for reforms to refocus federal programs. The report notes that the federal government has a constitutional responsibility to invest in transportation facilities that support interstate commerce. It also says that infrastructure investments are crucial to national economic security as well as protecting businesses and citizens from the hidden tax they would bear should our infrastructure be allowed to fail. Further, the report makes clear that maintaining infrastructure is far cheaper than paying to fix facilities once they break.
