It’s called Infrastructure Crisis, Sustainable Solutions: Rethinking Our Infrastructure Investment Strategies.  It distills the insights from 70 of the Pacific Northwest’s top infrastructure innovators and thought leaders whom I interviewed earlier this year to discover how we can transform the way we invest in these vital systems.

The implications of our infrastructure choices for our economy, our environment, and the quality of our communities are huge and long-lasting.  Bottom line:  We are going to have to spend many billions of dollars on our infrastructure just to keep our society and economy functioning.  This is the reality.  The question is: how do we get smart about how we’ll invest that money?

If we do it right, our infrastructure investments will help us create healthy, prosperous, beautiful, and cohesive communities, and overcome our most pressing environmental challenges.  My hope is Infrastructure Crisis, Sustainable Solutions will provide inspiration and valuable guidance to the region’s current and future infrastructure leaders, policymakers, and change agents.  Take a look at what key leaders are saying about the report!

If you like what you see, can you help let others know?  Spread the word to your colleagues and friends via email, Facebook, Twitter, association newsletters, at the brewpub– whichever communications channels you use.  And just let me know if I can help.

Thanks much!
