Dale Bonner, Samara Barend, Teveia Barnes, Marc Levine, Dean Palumbo
A panel of California Assemblymember Mark Levine, I-Bank official Tavia Barnes, and industry leaders from AECOM and Plenary addressed the state's $64 billion infrastructure maintenance gap and the political hurdles hindering effective public-private partnerships. The discussion highlighted the need for legislative reforms to accelerate project timelines, the adoption of innovative financing tools like third-party verification and tax-exempt bonds, and the potential of technology to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. Speakers emphasized that while local agencies are successfully leveraging private capital for delivery, the state must overcome risk aversion and bureaucratic delays to meet the 2.5% GDP investment benchmark required for adequate infrastructure growth.

Paving the Way to Next-Generation Infrastructure
Dale Bonner, John Delaney, Charles Harrington, James Pass, Jim Pass, Chuck Harrington
Following an ASCE "D+" rating and significant underinvestment compared to China and India, the proposed Infrastructure 2.0 Act seeks to capitalize a $50 billion private-sector fund by eliminating tax deferrals on overseas earnings and lowering the corporate tax rate. This legislation aims to generate $170 billion in revenue to secure long-term transportation funding and incentivize state-level public-private partnerships through conditional allocation. By leveraging $500 to $750 billion over fifty years, the plan addresses critical permitting bottlenecks and skill gaps to restore U.S. competitiveness and drive economic growth through high-fiscal-multiplier investments.

The Milken Institute is broadening its global initiatives while leveraging its California Center to drive policy changes in government efficiency and small business capital access. A recent summit highlighted the critical need for reauthorizing public-private partnership statutes to unlock $42 billion in infrastructure investment, focusing on regional waterways, transportation, and climate resilience. Panelists from major institutions and local governments identified fragmented governance as a primary barrier to execution, calling for centralized regional leaders to manage complex long-cycle projects and mitigate catastrophic flood risks.
