VISIT PECG ON THE WEBwww.pecg.org

Infrastructure-Info.com is a website dedicated to present-ing the latest comprehensive information and status of infrastructure projects throughout California and the world.

What’s the real story behind the newspaper headlines? Sections on Top News and Ortiz on Infrastructure (in-depth analysis from Jon Ortiz, PECG’s Director of Communications) go behind the scenes. Why do some projects

succeed while others fail? Money Pits and Projects to Watch analyze the reasons. Viewpoints of others, what’s happening in Washington D.C., and some cool Videos are among the additional features on the site.

Other infrastructure websites and information sources are typically sponsored or presented by either those who award government contracts or those who receive them. Infrastructure-Info, sponsored by PECG, presents information and analysis from the viewpoint of the public and those who serve them. The purpose of the site is to provide information to the decision makers, the news media, the public, and you, the PECG members! It provides original content not found anywhere else.

It is your roadmap to the intersection of money, politics, and the public interest, a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate gateway to the world of infrastructure.

We invite you to visit the site at Infrastructure-info.com. Follow it on Twitter and Facebook. We hope you find it useful, informative, and entertaining.
