Penn Institute for Urban Research and The Volcker Alliance invite you to join an online Special Briefing on how states and localities are deploying the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). With the passage of the IIJA in November 2021, governments face the challenge of allocating more than $1 trillion of funding in a strategic manner that address both past neglected needs and paves the way for a sustainable future. Panelists will discuss innovative solutions being pursued, roadblocks that are on the horizon, and the overall impact of this funding on the nation’s infrastructure and economy.

Our panel of experts includes Mayor Jorge Elorza, City of Providence, Rhode Island; Patrick Brett, managing director, Municipal Debt Capital Markets, Citigroup; and Larry Parks, co-founder, Forethought Advisors.
