USDOT Opens Applications for $800 Million: “FASTLANE” Freight Grants
Fully empowering local creativity, or funding an uncoordinated muddle of disconnected projects that actually don't add up to a strategic investment and infrastructure plan? Well, the US Government is now really putting significant tax funding behind freight project funding. At GLDPartners, we're not sure that we are necessarily spending toward a comprehensive and coordinated national business strategy, but at least we are allowing state and local officials to use their own project inventiveness. From our corporate and sector intelligence work, we see special market opportunity at and around airports and seaports. Let's hope that we see projects that are able to solve cargo movement problems and create economic growth.
