METROPOLITAN WATERFRONT ALLIANCE
“The Waterfront Action Agenda is a comprehensive program to enhance the New York-New Jersey metropolitan region’s reputation as a world-class port and water- front destination.  It took over 240 organizations one year to establish priorities and identify practical solutions that will make our waterfront what it should be.  We are calling upon civic and political leaders to understand these issues and craft policies that reclaim our waterfront for all the people and the competiveness of the region.”

“The Waterfront Action Agenda identifies five key areas that contribute to quality of life and the economic strength of the region.  Reflected in our 5 headings, these areas are: economic vitality, transportation alternatives, environmental priorities, public experience, and infrastructure at the water’s edge.”

Dear Friends,

 

It is encouraging to finally see clear signs of federal action to support a comprehensive US infrastructure investment plan.

 

Now more than ever, our advocacy is needed to keep stakeholders informed and connected, and to hold politicians to their promises to finally fix our nation’s ailing infrastructure.

 

We have already engaged nearly 280,000 users, and hoping to add many more as interest continues to grow.

 

We require your support in order to rise to this occasion, to make the most of this opportunity. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to InfrastructureUSA.org.
