Why the Southeast?
Florida, Georgia and Puerto Rico are not only hotbeds of infrastructure opportunities; they are also trailblazers to defining the keys to forging successful public private partnerships.
Florida
• Florida already has a solid PPP program in place and has two notable PPP projects under its belt that were both the first-of-their kind (I595 and Port of Miami Tunnel).
• Highlights among the state’s emerging pipeline of projects include high speed rail, which recently was allocated $1.25B in federal funds allocated to construct the Orlando-to-Tampa portion of the route.
• Florida has a project pipeline with plenty of opportunities to discuss and a friendly political climate towards PPP's
Georgia
• Georgia is implementing a new and innovative PPP program that will bring much needed transportation projects to the state.
• The solicitation of Georgia’s first PPP project began in February 2010
Puerto Rico
• Puerto Rico is the rising star of US infrastructure and is expected to be the hottest region for infrastructure investment in the US for 2010 over the next few years.
• It has one of the best legal structures in the US to encourage the development of public-private partnerships.
