Commentary: The US Needs To Get Infrastructure Building Costs Under Control
The Hill publishes a contributed column that makes the case the cost of building US infrastructure is too high. Author Ben Ritz, a Progressive Policy Institute staffer, also argues that the “many factors that distinguish our infrastructure processes from those of other developed countries, and their contributions to bloated costs, are not all well-understood.” He recommends a host of reforms (such as streamlining environmental reviews, limiting NIMBY lawsuits and expanding competitive grant programs) that he believes lawmakers working out the details of the bipartisan infrastructure framework should consider. “[P]olicymakers,” he suggests, “can accomplish more with less by maximizing the impact each dollar of spending has through better cost controls and project prioritization.”
