“Let’s Build Infrastructure” Praises Passage Of Infrastructure Bill: “Progress Triumphs Over Politics”

Alexandria, Va.  --- Today, former four-term Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett (2005-2018) and former two-term mayor of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter (2008-2016), co-chairs of “Let’s Build Infrastructure,” a bipartisan coalition focused on raising awareness about public-private partnerships (P3s), issued the following statement following Friday’s passage of the bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure in the House of Representatives:

“It took a while, but at long last, infrastructure week has arrived. We’re thrilled this common sense and bipartisan compromise passed the House of Representatives, and we commend lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for not allowing petty politics to derail meaningful progress. Washington is divided on almost everything else, but Americans from all walks of life will benefit from these infrastructure improvements. The private sector can play an important role shouldering some of the financial load of these projects, opening valuable new revenue streams for federal, state and local governments. Now that progress has triumphed over politics, let’s get to work on the infrastructure building.”

P3s are included as a revenue stream in the $1.2 trillion dollar Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework.
