Description
Lawrence A. Herzog, Ph.D. will provide a brief presentation of his publication and findings, which describe the California-Baja California infrastructure crisis, underscore the need for developing a cross-border infrastructure strategy, and define potential future policy strategies for border infrastructure. Among the challenges that Herzog highlights in the publication are the strains on existing infrastructure placed by rapid economic growth and demographic change, the economic and environmental costs of border delays, inadequate highway trade infrastructure, poorly developed rail linkages, lost opportunities to other regions with better infrastructure, insufficient port of entry capacity, and the shift to a national security framework at the border.
There is limited seating for this event. RSVP is required.
