Details
America’s infrastructure is more than just a network of roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, airports, and waterways connecting our towns, cities and states. It serves as a backbone of economic growth and preserves our quality of life, safety, communities and prosperity. America has long been a global leader in innovation, transportation and smart fiscal policies, yet the infrastructure that keeps our country open for business is out of date.
Join the U.S. Chamber on February 5, 2019, as we convene business leaders, policy makers, investors, innovators, developers, workforce leaders and other experts to discuss the modernization of America’s infrastructure.
The time to gain federal action to invest in America's infrastructure is NOW! This Summit will discuss various investment options and show the broad business community support for making enactment of a federal infrastructure modernization plan a reality in 2019.
