Session Length: 1:15 hr.
Program: 2007 ULI Fall Meeting
Date: October 24-26, 2007
Land for road and rail rights-of-way is limited and expensive and money to pay for the improvements even more so. In a country of raging deficits, rising gas prices, and wars to fund and fight, how does a metropolitan region stake its claim on the scarce resources that are available? One region has found a way and it was not money but moxie that paved the way.
Learn how the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, facing the prospect of growing from 5.5 million to over 9 million people during the next 25 years has leveraged a simple conference into a national forum for elected officials who make the policy on roads, rail and ports and has channeled needed cash into the region.
