We dig into why local, how to empower local, and then how to engage private capital into projects this week.
“From Ashby Monk ofStanford University: "Standardization in financing terms and project design is key to attracting institutional capital, which seeks scale and predictability.” A town of 50,000 people in one state will face similar infrastructure needs as another town of the same size elsewhere, enabling the development of a template for resilience investment. This template could include pre-defined financing terms, loan structures, and project management guidelines that can be replicated across regions, creating economies of scale and reducing administrative burdens for both local governments and investors.”
