Infrastructure investment is critical to America’s continued economic success. Our nation must expand and modernize its infrastructure across various sectors to help ensure that the United States continues to provide businesses, both large and small, an environment where they can successfully grow and operate. Indeed, research has shown that well designed investments in infrastructure can increase long-term economic growth, productivity, and land values, while also providing significant positive spillovers to areas such as economic development, energy efficiency, public health and manufacturing.
