What we are doing about jobs

Infrastructure

Our goal is to make infrastructure investments that support innovative clusters, improve mobility for workers and goods, and maximize job creation in capital programs.

Investments in infrastructure should focus on innovation. The state can be a leader in the creation of enormous new markets by designing and building smart infrastructure that takes full advantage of communications and information technologies to perform more effectively.

Senate Democrats propose:

• Making large capital investments to put people to work; (capital budget)
• Investments to build a more integrated transportation system; (SB 6455)
• Supporting and expanding Innovation Partnership Zones; (SB 5401/SB 5405)
• Creating self-financing industry clusters to boost commercialization; (SB 5808)
• Providing tools for local economic development; and (SB 6140)
• Modernizing the Public Works Trust Fund. (capital budget)
