WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2022 / The Blueprint 2025 Initiative released its "10 Point Recommendations for 2022 Report", laying out specific steps to advance the goal of restoring the U.S.' position as the nation with the world's best, most technologically advanced and most productive infrastructure. mapping out a clear path forward for U.S. infrastructure policy on the heels of the passage of the Nov. 6, 2021 Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act.
Established in 2015 by infrastructure visionary Norman F. Anderson, The Blueprint 2025 Initiative aims to transform the U.S. Infrastructure Model by expanding the concept of infrastructure beyond roads, bridges and rail to include all of the support systems required to support electrification, energy transition and the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." This can only be accomplished by supporting the research and innovation needed to restore U.S. leadership, by mobilizing private capital to fund these efforts and by removing our current regulatory barriers that gridlock infrastructure in the U.S. Blueprint 2025 operates around supporting "shovel worthy" infrastructure projects, and establishes trust between their project owners, policymakers, and private sector leaders to unlock priority projects.
"This is an important moment for U.S. infrastructure, and one that should not be squandered. With the passage of IIJA and the establishment of a National Infrastructure Office in the White House, Blueprint 2025 has been successful these past seven years in shining a light on the ‘best ideas' in infrastructure," states Patricia Pietravalle, Director of Blueprint 2025.
The 10 Point Recommendations include:
- Recognize the Role of States, Their Communities and Their Infrastructure Banks, and Make the States and Communities More Equal Partners
- Empower and Fully Staff the National Infrastructure Office
- Transition Planning and Project Prioritization Must Be Based on Science, Analysis and User Demand
- Establish a National Infrastructure Bank
- Mobilize Private Capital and Financial Resources.
- Particularly now, the U. S. and U.S. companies must reassert leadership in exporting infrastructure expertise and capabilities to restore war destroyed infrastructure and address the challenges presented by climate change

Gordon Arbuckle, Co-Founder of the Blueprint 2025 Initiative adds,"Norman was passionately committed to the proposition that infrastructure is about more than roads, streets and bridges, It is about innovation - to design all of the support systems needed to make our lives as good and productive as they can be -and motivation -to enlist all hands in the effort to put those systems in place. Blueprint 2025 is a product of that commitment."
