This conference will bring together notable experts and thought leaders who will broadly examine national, regional and state infrastructure bank concepts and forward-thinking proposals, followed by focused discussions on clean energy, transportation and high speed rail, private and pension investments for the public good, the labor force and jobs creation.<\/p>\n

March 14, 2011 8am~12:30pm<\/p>\n

EVENT LOCATION: <\/strong>The William and Anita Newman Conference Center, Room 750, 151 East 25th Street, New York, NY 10010<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In recent years the United States has watched from the sidelines as developed and emerging nations rapidly invest in high speed rail, clean energy and other crucial infrastructure.\u00a0 Beyond questions of global competitiveness,\u00a0 substantial infrastructure investment holds the promise of millions of new jobs and multiplier effects that will benefit the entire economy.<\/p>\n

It is clear that the time has come for the creation of national, regional or state infrastructure banks.\u00a0 Amid uncertainty about how to manage a growing federal deficit, national, regional and state infrastructure banks are key ways to help finance U.S. infrastructure objectives, on top of federal transportation funding.\u00a0 This is especially true in an era of sustained fiscal duress in state and municipal government sectors which shoulder some three quarters of public infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n

Forward-thinking proposals on national, regional and state infrastructure banks have already been advanced by President Obama, Congressman Steve Israel, and others.\u00a0 “Banking on The Future: A New Paradigm for Rebuilding Our Nation’s Infrastructure” will broadly examine the infrastructure bank concept, followed by focused discussions on infrastructure of the future, private and pension investments for the public good as well as the issues of the labor force and jobs creation.<\/p>\n
