Bipartisan Policy Center to Unveil Infrastructure Recommendations May 16

The Bipartisan Policy Center plans to unveil on May 16 a paper detailing ways policymakers may improve the country’s infrastructure, as part of Infrastructure Week.

The center’s recommendations will focus on funding strategies aimed at boosting private capital into large-scale highway projects. The recommendations will include insight from corporate CEOs and executives who have looked at the issue for over a year to come up with an investment model.

Leading a panel discussion on the recommendations at the center’s office in Washington, D.C., will be: Doug Peterson, president and CEO of McGraw Hill Financial; Susan Story, president and CEO of American Water; Jane Garvey, chairman of the North America Meridiam; Suzanne Shank, CEO of Siebert Brandford Shank & Co., LLC; Eric Cantor, vice chairman and managing director at Moelis & Company; and Henry Cisneros, founder and chairman of CityView.

Infrastructure Week, May 16 through May 20, will feature dozens of think tanks, trade associations and academic research institutions that will host events looking at crumbling roads, bridges and tunnels.
