APA National Infrastructure Investment Task Force

The group is headed by APA President Bruce Knight, FAICP; APA President Elect Mitchell Silver, AICP; and APA Past President Robert Hunter, 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.
