FIELD HEARING: Rebuilding America - APA National Infrastructure Investment Task Force

Location: 
Washington, DC
Event Date:
December 16, 2008 - December 16, 2008
Description:

Rebuilding America was launched at the National Design Professionals Infrastructure Summit in Washington, D.C., on October 20, 2008, when planners, architects, landscape architects, and engineers began a discussion of the state of the nation’s infrastructure and heard from experts about options for federal policy and investment.

Now the task force will be conducting a series of regional field hearings throughout the U. S. convening regional leaders, planners, issue experts, academics, allied professionals, and engaged citizens. These events will focus on identifying major issues of local regional concern related to infrastructure policy and investment. Please register on APA's website for the upcoming Mid-Atlantic regional field hearing to be held in Washington, DC on December 16th from 1:30 - 4:00 pm at the Metropolitan Washington COG located at 777 North Capitol Street, NE in the first floor training center.
