A bipartisan task force made up elected officials from across the country, known as The New Partnership on Infrastructure, have released a playbook for America’s infrastructure, calling for local and federal governments to align their infrastructure investment efforts.
Called America’s New Playbook for Infrastructure, the guide goes beyond a call for significant investment in the nation’s infrastructure, urging an overhaul of how infrastructure is financed by the federal government, according to a June 23 statement by The New Partnership on Infrastructure.
The playbook states that for stimulus legislation to be most effective, the United States will need to overhaul how it funds infrastructure in the country by moving toward a system that incentivizes aligned local, state and federal investment. By empowering local governments with more autonomy, the group envisions infrastructure investments to be developed alongside national policy objectives.
