For the P3 alternative delivery model to reach its full potential in the U.S., academic researchers, government agencies and private practitioners should collaborate more closely to define research needs, enhance data availability and identify funding resources. Aligning the various interests to achieve these goals is complicated. To seek solutions, Public Works Financing has invited 30 exerienced academics, public owners and P3 developers to gather in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 14 to explore ways to cooperate in meeting critical research needs. A summary of the discussion will appear in the February 2014 issue of PWF.
