New 'Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report' from BNA Tracks Economic Stimulus Capital Infusion for National Infrastructure Projects
ARLINGTON, Va., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Federal spending on transportation and other infrastructure projects across the country is slated to top $200 billion in the next two years. The $150 billion for new infrastructure spending in the recently-passed economic stimulus package is only one aspect of a huge federal infusion of capital planned for building and maintaining high-speed rail systems, highways and bridges, airports, pipelines, and energy grids. Major spending is also anticipated for mass transit, clean water, green technology, broadband, and other infrastructure projects.
Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report, a new print and electronic service from the specialized news and information publisher BNA, will be a critical resource for stakeholders seeking to monitor the flow of federal funding into state and local economies.
"Lawyers, government affairs professionals, energy companies, engineers, architects and building contractors are among the many, many professional groups that will be involved in rebuilding different parts of the nation's crumbling infrastructure in the next few years and overhauling the energy efficiency of the nation's existing structures," said Stephanie I. Cohen, BNA Senior Editor. "They will find Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report an essential tool in tracking these new funding streams and program initiatives at the local, state, federal and international level, and in ways that will contribute to their success."
BNA's experienced business and financial reporters provide coverage of the flow of federal, state, local, and international funds into large-scale investment projects in the United States. They closely follow the rules, regulations, and standards issued by the new Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, the proposed national infrastructure bank, and the agencies - the Energy Department, Department of Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Department of Labor, among others - charged with managing the government's massive capital investments. The publication will include insights from leading attorneys, executives, federal state and local officials, and Capitol Hill veterans.
"We will connect the dots between the financing and regulatory requirements for business in the infrastructure space that need the most current government and economic information with Infrastructure Investment & Policy Report ," said Jerome Ashton, Managing Editor for the publication. "Will improvements in the nation's energy grid translate into growth for companies with investments in smart grid technology? How will port expansions and water system improvements be funded and what structure will these financial deals take? What role will international companies have in public-private partnerships aimed at roadway and airport expansions? How will energy efficiency improvements in the residential and commercial sectors be structured and what how will the government allocate dollars? This is the kind of actionable detail we expect our reporting to deliver," said Ashton.
