An Economic Analysis of Infrastructure Investment
The U.S. Department of the Treasury, with the Council of Economic Advisers, has released a report that explores the economic effects of transportation infrastructure investment. According to the report, the four key reasons why this is an optimal time to increase our investment in transportation infrastructure are as follows: well designed infrastructure investments have longterm economic benefits; the middle class will benefit disproportionately from such investment; there is currently a high level -of underutilized resources that can be used to improve and expand the nation's infrastructure; and there is strong demand by the public and businesses for additional transportation infrastructure investments.
