Squire Patton Boggs is pleased to participate in the IPFA Americas event: "Washington D.C.: The Potential Role of Private Finance in Federal Building Construction" being held Monday, December 14 at the Keck Center in Washington DC.
In the face of competing budget priorities and constrained revenues, many nations have turned to the private sector to provide financing for public buildings and other needed infrastructure projects. The US, however, has been slow to engage the private sector in financing “social infrastructure” that is not readily supported by user fees, despite well-documented benefits. The Federal Facilities Council (FFC) and the International Project Finance Association (IPFA) are co-sponsoring this event to explore the opportunities that exist for private financial participation in Federal building construction, barriers (perceived and real) to such private involvement, and to identify what needs to occur at the legislative and regulatory level to increase opportunities for the beneficial involvement of the private sector.
Firm partner, and former Secretary of the US Department of Transportation, Rodney E. Slater, will give the keynote address, "Is There a Need for Change?" at 1:10 p.m.
