America's lack of spending on infrastructure has been devastating, says HNTB

Every four years, the “American Society of Civil Engineers” issues a “report card” on the nation’s infrastructure: In 2017, the grade was a “D-plus”; this year, it’s a “C-minus”. And, according to John Barton, of “H-N-T-B”, America’s lack of spending on infrastructure has been devastating—especially in light of recent events… “Public safety always comes first; we must also repair seriously deficient and dangerous assets. And, we need new spending-levels, to enable us to leapfrog the improvements to that infrastructure to new levels of performance—rather than just catching up to where we should have been for decades. Investing today in resilient infrastructure will create jobs, improve our communities, strengthen economies, and minimize costs in the wake of future natural-disasters—helping prevent those disasters from turning into catastrophes. By prioritizing infrastructure, we’re investing not only in the economic health of our nation—but we’re also investing in its physical health.” To learn more, visit “h-n-t-b”-dot-com.
