Aiming to boost infrastructure investment as a bigger economic priority in U.S. policy for the next administration, a new coalition is pushing to gain support of its “Blueprint 2025” initiative in Congress and among the key presidential contenders.

Construction-industry and other business-sector CEOs and leaders of public agencies and financing entities are the current and desired advocates. Among other actions, the effort aims for a White House-level agency to expedite infrastructure project permitting and technology adoption, as well as a national infrastructure bank that would inject at least $2 trillion in new investment over the next decade—something proponents say could hike GDP by at least 1%.
