Volunteer members representing over 100 industry, labor, and trade associations, local governments and business entities have come together to form the Montana Infrastructure Coalition. This Coalition has been established to provide an inclusive, non-partisan forum to research and develop funding solutions for our most pressing infrastructure needs. The purpose of the Coalition is to provide reliable information to state and local decision-makers and their constituents regarding the need for infrastructure investment, and to explore economically and politically sustainable methods of funding critical infrastructure in the future. Based on its research and analysis, the Coalition will develop funding and financing suggestions for infrastructure investment to meet ongoing maintenance needs, to meet increasing health and safety standards, and to accommodate and stimulate growth.
