ASCE Colorado Meeting with Governor Polis on Infrastructure

Properly maintained infrastructure is essential for Colorado's economy and public health.  ASCE Colorado is excited to host a meeting with Governor Jared Polis to discuss the future of Colorado's infrastructure.  This meeting is occurring at a critical time during a national discussion on infrastructure investment and the recent release of the ASCE National Report Card.  The meeting will start with remarks from the Governor followed by Q&A from our members.  We hope to cover a wide variety of topics, from roads and bridges to sustainability, climate change, broadband, and energy.

Following our time with the Governor, we will host a workshop on how to understand and advocate for sustainable, equitable, and smart infrastructure investments in our state and across the nation.   We will hear from Matt Gray (Colorado State Representative and sponsor of upcoming transportation funding bill), Peyton Gibson (ASCE Colorado State Report Card Chair), and Sarah Klarich (ASCE Colorado Government Affairs Chair). We are looking forward to your participation!  Please register to receive updates for this event.
