An Infrastructure Panel Discussion: Ports, Highways & Sewage Demystified, an excerpt from APA's recent regional conference in Long Beach.
In this excerpt from APA's recent regional conference in Long Beach, expert panelists Jim Hankla, Judy Wilson & Steve Erie opined on the State's need for investment in public infrastructure. The obvious need for a multi-modal transportation system, the ever-increasing need to upgrade our sewer and waste disposal systems, and the continuing debate about airport capacity caused many in attendance to ask: What will galvanize the Capitol to act proactively re: investment & planning before our population grows restless with service degradation?
