MUNICIPALITIES MUST GET CREATIVE TO FUND RESILIENCY IN A TIME OF BOTH GREATER NEED AND REDUCED FEDERAL FUNDING
Darren Olson, the engineer leading the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE), 2025 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure is vice president and assistant department head of the Water Resources Department at Christopher B. Burke Engineering in Chicago.
He said the bipartisan Infrastructure
Investment and Jobs Act plus the Inflation Reduction Act provided more than a
trillion dollars for much-needed infrastructure, while also supporting myriad
jobs.
Investing in infrastructure keeps the United States competitive in the global economy, Olson said.
He noted that safe
inland waterways and great ports allow things like grain and soybeans to be
shipped overseas, keeping this nation competitive against other producers such
as Brazil.
