To create a future vision, heightened coordination, and increased training between Minnesota’s infrastructure agencies, lawmakers are considering creation of a new non-regulatory advisory board.
The Minnesota Advisory Council on Infrastructure would work in tandem with stakeholders to identify and promote best practices that will preserve and extend the longevity of Minnesota’s public and privately owned infrastructure, and provide for proper management, coordination, and investment.
Its proposed creation comes on the heels of a report from the Infrastructure Resiliency Advisory Task Force which met during the interim. Its final report was issued last month.
