The text below is from the center's announcement:
It’s called Infrastructure Crisis, Sustainable Solutions: Rethinking Our Infrastructure Investment Strategies. It distills the insights from 70 of the Pacific Northwest’s top infrastructure innovators and thought leaders who were interviewed earlier this year to discover how we can transform the way we invest in these vital systems.
The implications of our infrastructure choices for our economy, our environment and the quality of our communities are huge and long-lasting. Bottom line: We are going to have to spend many billions of dollars on our infrastructure just to keep our society and economy functioning. This is the reality. The question is: How do we get smart about how we’ll invest that money?
If we do it right, our infrastructure investments will help us create healthy, prosperous, beautiful and cohesive communities, and overcome our most pressing environmental challenges.
