Bay City, MI Chooses Private Solution for Financing Bridge Replacement
Posted May 6, 2020, Length: 16:58
When aging infrastructure needs repair or replacement, a primary challenge is finding the money. Bay City, Michigan, northwest of Detroit, faced this problem with two key bridges, and the community ultimately decided to sell the bridges to a private consortium that will pay for improvements and collect tolls to finance the projects.
In this podcast, we learn how Bay City is addressing its bridge issues from the town’s City Manager, Dana Muscott.
The Infrastructure Show is sponsored by Northwestern University.
