Weld on private investment in public projects

  Share     E-Mail    Discussion    Print Story
President Obama's $150 billion commitment to public infrastructure projects could prove a boon to private investors. And it's not just roads, bridges and tunnels targeted for investment. Broadband expansion, energy grid upgrades, renewable energy projects and other 21st-century infrastructure projects are also on the agenda. In this edition of Inside The Deal, former Massachusetts Governor William F. Weld expands on his recent article in The Deal magazine titled "Going private 2.0." Weld, a partner in the New York office of McDermott, Will & Emery LLP, tells Suzanne Stevens that a perfect storm of events, including crumbling infrastructure and deteriorating state and local budgets, has created an environment in which significant public-private partnerships can thrive.
