Investing in our Infrastructure

In order for Texas to continue thriving – growing in job creation & developing communities – local governments must establish plans for long-term, sustainable infrastructure investments, requiring essential elements such as:

• RELIABLE RESOURCES

  • City leaders need to be able to rely on predictable resources to be confident in their decision-making as they build locally.

• ALIGNED PLANNING

  • There’s a void when it comes to aligned goals for local and state infrastructure planning.

• SUPPORTIVE DECISION-MAKING

  • Cities should be allowed the financial flexibility and support in their decision-making pertaining to issuing bonds or taking on debt when developing local solutions.

Coordinating these elements with partnerships between the State and local communities is necessary to building and sustaining strong communities in major core areas like:

• BROADBAND

• ELECTRICITY

• TRANSPORTATION

• WATER/SEWER
