Strategies to Prepare for the Expected Increase in Infrastructure Financial Capacity

State financial managers have always been on the front lines of infrastructure investments – from project identification and funding through delivery and operations. And state leaders, especially financial leaders, know the relationship between the state of good repair and economic vitality. Infrastructure renewal has become a topic front and center to the public during this last presidential campaign, and the public has included infrastructure renewal and investment in their thinking. As funding becomes available, how can states prioritize and better manage investments?

In this webinar we will review how state financial managers can:

Help select/prioritize the right projects, including applying decision criteria techniques.
Improve and increase transparency through controls, analytics and enhanced grants management.
Leverage innovations, including RFID tags/newer technologies/techniques, to drive financial visibility into cost and safety.

Join this session for insight into how state leaders can get behind projects and talk about their state’s ability to deliver projects with confidence – on time, on budget, with the right type of funding and financing.
