What is PPEA?
PPEA is the Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act. It was passed in 2002 by the General Assembly to allow agencies, institutions, and localities to form partnerships with the private sector. Through these partnerships, the public and private sectors work together to complete major projects, like building new schools and jails, to serve the public interest. The law was amended in 2003 to include information technology (IT) infrastructure projects, like building new data centers.
