APA National Infrastructure Investment Task Force

APA's National Infrastructure Investment Task Force has been created to evaluate current conditions and challenges affecting the nation's vital infrastructure, develop a new vision for that infrastructure, and identify recommendations for changes in public policy and planning practice.

The new group is headed by Past President David Siegel, AICP; President Robert Hunter, FAICP; and President-elect Bruce Knight, FAICP.

The task force steering committee will include the chairs of six sub-committees, focused on the topics of transportation, water, energy, technology and telecommunications, public facilities and green infrastructure.
