Rebuilding America: Infrastructure

On February 4, 2009, the American Planning Association conducted a Regional Field Hearing in Tallahassee to identify major issues of regional concerns related to infrastructure policy and investment. 6-10 meetings will be held across the nation.

"APA's National Infrastructure Investment Task Force has been created to evaluate current conditions and challenges affecting the nation's vital infrastructure, develop a new vision for that infrastructure, and identify recommendations for changes in public policy and planning practice.

The task force steering committee will include the chairs of six sub-committees, focused on the topics of transportation, water, energy, technology and telecommunications, public facilities and green infrastructure."

Upon completion of the Regional Field Hearings, APA will issue a Town Hall Toolkit and Policy Recommendations to assist local chapters.
