Infrastructure plays an important role in economic growth and job creation. To learn more about local infrastructure and how it supports the local economy, attend the following session during the MACo summer conference.
Local Infrastructure – Fueling Your Economic Engine
Description: Local governments are responsible for building and maintaining infrastructure across the state – creating jobs and helping businesses prosper. The local economy not only benefits from jobs created during the construction and operational phase of a project, but from the services provided to the area businesses and households. This session will discuss the economic benefits of infrastructure – roads, bridges, wastewater – pre- and post-construction phase.
