As we kick off 2017 with a new President, new Congress, and a new Arizona Legislature, the conversation about infrastructure needs and how to pay for them will start anew.
My column a few months ago spoke of how infrastructure makes our lives better and our economy more efficient. Roads, highways, water pipes and much more make up the modern infrastructure we all use every day. Our state’s expansive infrastructure was constructed over many years, and our leaders are responsible for keeping it working for us today and keeping up with a growing population that uses more infrastructure.
As we move forward, there is no one way to fund infrastructure needs because the challenge of funding is too big for any one method. Valley Partnership is happy to support and work with partners on steps we need to take now to move forward with critical infrastructure and how we can pay for it.
