CALIFORNIA INFRASTRUCTURE: LEVERAGING THE ECONOMIC AND LEGISLATIVE TOOLS TO BECOME SHOVEL READY
Infrastructure serves as the foundation for our daily lives. We use freeways, streets, and interchanges to move from place-to-place. We purchase goods that pass through ports and drink water from public water systems. However, California's infrastructure is failing and the resources to fix it are dwindling. California cannot afford the multi-billion investment required to bring California's infrastructure up to par. However, this panel will bring together experts from the public and private sector to discuss how to find and successfully secure the limited funding sources available as well as how to maneuver through the legal backdrop against which these projects are to be approved.
