DBIA: Standing Ovations Are Nice, But Is Washington Serious About Rebuilding America's Infrastructure – This Time?

“In this politically divisive era, there are few issues which garner as wide support across parties, regions and states as infrastructure investment. However, even that support has not yielded much more than promises. We can’t pave streets with promises.

The president has, once again, expressed his support for an infrastructure package and we urge Congress to seize the moment and begin the hard work of finding the funding to make it happen. A true infrastructure renaissance means America needs to build better, using innovation and collaboration to deliver resilient and efficient projects, while maximizing limited dollars. That’s why design-build is now the fastest growing delivery method in the nation. Many states simply aren’t waiting for Washington and they’ve turned to design-build to deliver the nation’s most cost and time-efficient projects.

However, closing our country’s trillion-dollar infrastructure investment gap demands a strong federal partner. America’s design-builders urge Washington to come together, use the strong bipartisan support of the public as the foundation to deliver the infrastructure package our nation desperately needs.” -- Lisa Washington, DBIA Executive Director/CEO.
