Capitalizing on Infrastructure: Priorities for Implementing Federal Investments

Federal investments from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and the CHIPS and Science Act (CHIPS) represent the largest cross-sector public investment since the New Deal, introducing $2 trillion in new federal spending over 10 years.

As funds begin making their way to the state and local level to strengthen the country’s deteriorating infrastructure, accelerate the green energy transition, and improve its global competitiveness in advanced sectors, inflation is chipping away at the buying power of these investments. Consequently, streamlined regulation and collaboration with private sector stakeholders is crucial to drive timely and cost-effective implementation of these historic investments.

By attending, you will learn:

  • How inflation is curtailing the buying power of these historic investments, making their timely and efficient implementation that much more important.
  • How policy and business leaders can approach regulation to facilitate more efficient, faster infrastructure spending.
  • What progress has been made to date in federal investments and why some spending areas have fallen behind their intended schedule.
  • How these investments are expected to transform American infrastructure, and the energy and advanced technology sectors and what role public-private partnerships should play.
  • How public and private sector leaders can work around unprecedented shortages in labor and materials to keep projects moving.
  • How federal and state governments can build transparency into how the funds are accessed and used.
