Our Infrastructure’s Poor Grades
In January 2009, as the stimulus package was being debated on a national level, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) released a timely preview of a study it was working on. The study was a that graded many areas of our nation’s infrastructure. It was not pretty. Overall, the ASCE gave our infrastructure a D with no specific area receiving anything higher than a C. They also estimated that the nation would need to invest 2.2 trillion dollars over the next five years to have any chance of raising our grades.
