Webinar: Infrastructure Avalanche: How to Make the Best Use of State and Federal Funding

Join us virtually for this stop on the 2022 Strong Towns Local-Motive Tour, featuring Strong Towns President Charles Marohn and guest speaker Beth Osborne, director of Transportation for America.

LOCATION: Online Event   |   DATE: February 17, 2022  |   TIME: 1:00 PM ET

The infrastructure bill has finally passed, and with it comes a host of concerns, pitfalls, and risks. Our communities are on the brink of spending millions of dollars digging ourselves into a pit of endless maintenance and debt issues, paving highways we don’t need that will only do us harm. But it doesn’t have to be that way. With a careful, fiscally prudent approach, we can use infrastructure funding to make our towns stronger, not weaker or more reliant on outside money. Beth Osborne, director of Transportation for America, with decades of experience in federal and state transportation policy, will guide you through how to think about the impending infrastructure avalanche and not squander this opportunity. Charles Marohn, president of Strong Towns, will speak about a Strong Towns approach to infrastructure investments.
