Hosted by United for Infrastructure

Now a year into the pandemic, local budgets for infrastructure have been stretched to the breaking point. New policy actions – including the American Rescue Plan – contain support for both local government and frontline infrastructure agencies, but the impacts of the pandemic and the economic downturn on budgets, capital plans, and long-term financing will be felt for many years. This panel conversation with experts from local government and finance explores how infrastructure projects and local budgets have been impacted, and what policy tools should be considered as Washington debates stimulus in the months ahead.

Speakers:
• Emily Brock, Director, Federal Liaison Center, Government Finance Officers Association
• Christy McFarland, Research Director, National League of Cities
• Mike Parker, Americas Infrastructure Leader, Ernst and Young
• Moderator: Dan Carol, Director, Center for Financial Markets, The Milken Institute
