About this episode
Peggy Smedley and Laura O'Neill Kaumo, president and CEO, American Concrete Pavement Assn., talk about the state of paving and infrastructure investment today, including some of the challenges state highway agencies will be facing in the near future. She says infrastructure investment from the federal government used to be this automatic bipartisan space that was reliable, and it was viewed as being important. Roughly 15 years ago, we saw a shift, she says.
They also discuss:
- The impact of inflation on the IIJA (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act).
- How to find the talent to work in construction.
- What will get us back up to an A+ score on the Infrastructure Report Card.
