About the Event

Today, governments face enormous challenges. Without the use of public-private partnerships, many elected officials will be faced with choosing between harmful reductions in services and significant tax increases. By being innovative and forging new ways of providing vital services, governments are proving that public-private partnerships are a practical and viable alternative.

The decisions public officials make today will either advance or paralyze Los Angeles’s ability to maintain competitiveness, bolster economic growth, and provide the basis for building sustainable communities for the next century.

To that end, ULI Los Angeles has invited State Secretary Dale Bonner to not only inform our community of the State of California’s targeted plans, but more importantly provide insight and guidance to decision makers in both the private and public sectors in their collaborative efforts to develop an infrastructure strategy for Los Angeles.
