What level of funding can the state afford while also meeting the infrastructure needs of state-owned facilities?
Obtaining answers to the above questions will provide a framework for determining the types of facilities and the appropriate levels of state involvement in local infrastructure finance. We believe that state support for local infrastructure should be at a level that does not hinder the state’s ability to adequately address its own facilities needs and should be limited to funding projects that (1) serve more than just a local interest or (2) absent state support, could not be undertaken.
