"Upstate New York's Crumbling Infrastructure: Is Smart Growth the Solution?"
Monday November 19th, 11:30-1:00 (lunch provided), Warren Hall B32
Moderator: David Kay, Community & Regional Development InstitutePanelists: Peter Fleischer - Empire State Future, Susan Riha - Director, NYS Water Resources Institute, Rick Geddes – Policy Analysis & Management
New York's infrastructure is aging. Our tendency to defer maintenance until "later" has long term costs: an estimated quarter trillion dollars over the next 20 years is needed just to repair New York's roads, bridges, and water and sewer lines. One of the most alluring promises of Smart Growth is that better planning can make infrastructure investment much more cost effective. Our panelists will discuss this promise, and what is necessary to turn it from a pipe dream into reality.
If you are interested in attending the Roundtable luncheon, please RSVP to Linda Warner by November 5 at llw2@cornell.edu
