Blueprint's Recommendations
Our Founder Norman Anderson created Blueprint 2025 (“BP2025”) in 2015 as a collaboration among infrastructure professionals, leading infrastructure development companies, and public sector project managers, including the managers of state infrastructure banks. The BP2025 objective is to restore the U.S.’ position as the nation with the world’s best, most technologically advanced, most climate resilient, and most productive infrastructure. Our country - and the world - remain at a crucial point where technology and innovation are driving a critical and continuing need for unprecedented policy changes. Collaboration and communication between federal, state, and local governments and the private sector must be nimble and efficient in responding to this changing environment. Coping with climate change has become a necessary element of national security. Our country continues at a critical moment where digitalization, artificial intelligence, and electrification are demanding transformation of our infrastructure and offering the potential - through American innovation - to ensure the U.S. leads the 4th industrial revolution.
BP2025 was created to address these issues that represent the largest industrial shift in 120 years. Norman’s Vision and the recommendations and philosophy flowing from it continue to contribute to the enactment and implementation of groundbreaking legislation such as IIJA, IRA and the CHIPS Act as well as far-sighted and innovative new policies at both the federal and state levels. These recommendations seek to build on the previous years’ recommendations and continue the progress to date.
These Recommendations seek to carry forward Norman Anderson’s Vision for U.S, Infrastructure and to build on the previous years’ recommendations, most of which address important objectives that have yet to be fully achieved. They represent a broad consensus among the members of the infrastructure community that support the Blueprint 2025 Initiative. We also believe that most of them will have appeal to the public in general and on both sides of the Congressional aisles. We sincerely hope that this is the case and that anyone who is interested will feel free to call on us if anything further is needed.
