Summary: The first of a series of AIA-hosted forums open to the public on transportation and infrastructure needs will take place September 21 at AIA national component headquarters in Washington, D.C.


Panelists, AIA members, and the public will discuss the infrastructure vision for the Washington, D.C., region as it relates to future infrastructure spending. Join AIA members and local leaders, including Greater Washington Board of Trade President James Dinegar and Coalition for Smarter Growth Executive Director Stewarat Schwarz, in a discussion about regional needs for more livable and sustainable transportation policies.
