Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure Responds to Obama

The Association for the Improvement of American Infrastructure (AIAI), a non-profit organization formed to help shape the direction of the national Public Private Partnership marketplace, has responded to President Obama’s recent announcement regarding the Build America Investment Initiative.

AIAI said it applauds the efforts of President Obama’s Build America Investment Initiative, which aims to boost infrastructure investment and economic growth through increased national use of Public Private Partnerships (P3). “AIAI looks forward to learning more details on the role of the Initiative and the Build America Transportation Investment Center as this develops,” it added.

“Public Private Partnerships deliver public works projects through private sector innovation and are fast becoming a popular vehicle for the United States to rebuild its infrastructure, lift its economy and create jobs. The expertise of the private sector complements the public sector’s capacity to design, finance, build and deliver public infrastructure projects quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively, providing much needed congestion relief to our nation’s transportation arteries. AIAI commends the efforts of President Obama and this pro-P3 initiative as they recognize the importance of private sector involvement in solving the National infrastructure crisis.”
