National Infrastructure Performance Council
We are a high-impact council committed to doubling the annual level of investment in infrastructure, from $250 billion to $500 billion per year, and sustaining that level of investment through 2025. We believe that achieving these goals is central to the U.S. national interest. To achieve our mission, the National Infrastructure Performance Council will bring together the nation’s most accomplished business leaders, as well as academic and policy experts to collaborate with the Administration and Congressional leaders on the development and implementation of a national infrastructure strategy. The key to this strategy will be creating a regulatory environment that can enable both public and private sector investment to be easily deployed in infrastructure development domestically, thus helping our country reclaim our dominant position in infrastructure globally.
“Our country needs an infrastructure stimulus from the public and private sector in order to grow. The decisions we make now will represent long-term investment that will serve our country for the next 30-40 years
