On July 14, 2025, the National Association of Counties passed a resolution on the National Infrastructure Bank
The National Association of Counties (NACo), an FDR-era organization founded in 1935, celebrated its 90th anniversary, July 11-14, in Philadelphia. The Coalition for a National Infrastructure Bank (NIB) intervened in the proceedings with an initiative for a National Infrastructure Bank. The spearhead of the effort was a resolution in support of the NIB, which was funneled into the Transportation Committee of NACo.
Unlike Congress, the county commissioners are concerned with the infrastructure, jobs, and industrial needs of their jurisdictions. Counties own nearly 50% of the infrastructure in the nation, including roads, bridges, schools, drinking and wastewater, and much more. They are very concerned about the ongoing infrastructure shortfall, the projected shortfall ($4 trillion), and the financial and economic impacts of passage of the Big Beautiful Bill.
The resolution passed the body unanimously.
On June 8 and June 16, respectively, the Las Vegas Review Journal and the Los Angeles Times published two op-eds on the need for a National Infrastructure Bank
Financing would come from a new National Infrastructure Bank. A similar institution financed Hoover and Parker dams and two large oil pipelines in World War II. There is a bill in Congress, HR4052, that would create a $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank to do just this. It would require no new federal spending or new federal taxes. There are currently 48 sponsors of this bill, but none from Nevada.
In the United States, we could get past much of the financial drama for high-speed rail if we considered creating a National Infrastructure Bank, which would rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and finance transportation projects like high-speed rail without adding to the national or state-based debt load. This common-sense financial mechanism built huge amounts of our national infrastructure in the past but currently faces headwinds because of self-destructive political polarization.

It was established in 1971 as a means of supporting women's voices within the Democratic Party of the United States, and hosts national and state-level conferences and activities.

Initiators of the resolution were Gini Ballou, First Vice President of the NFDW.

"National Infrastructure Bank:
A Permanent Solution and Timely Budget Work-Around"
Abstract
The passage of time, chronic underinvestment, and climate change have left America’s public infrastructure dangerously overstretched and vulnerable. The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021 provided billions of dollars in new Federal spending for infrastructure. While a significant start, the IIJA addressed only a small fraction of the nation’s current, unfunded needs. A $5 trillion National Infrastructure Bank, as proposed in HR4052, would fill that gap, provide technical/regulatory assistance, and turbocharge the American economy, with no need for added spending, taxes, or increases to the National Debt.
Introduction
In the landscape of industrialized economies, the United States stands as a testament to the critical role of robust infrastructure in driving economic vitality. The intricate network of transportation, digital communications, energy grids, and water systems forms the backbone of the nation’s economic engine, catalyzing growth and enhancing the quality of life.
Investment in public infrastructure is not merely a matter of maintenance or upgrade; it is a strategic imperative for economic expansion and social progress. Conversely, the failure to adequately invest in and modernize public infrastructure can have dire consequences. Stagnation in infrastructure development can serve as a precursor to broader economic malaise. Outdated or inadequate infrastructure hampers efficiency, stifles innovation, and can create obstacles that impede economic activity. The ramifications may extend beyond mere economic metrics; they can erode the fabric of communities, as deteriorating infrastructure disproportionately affects disadvantaged populations.
Businesses, particularly those reliant on efficient supply chains and logistics, encounter escalating operational costs as they navigate the repercussions of neglected infrastructure. The resulting inefficiencies not only diminish the competitive edge of businesses but also contribute to increased costs for consumers.
And competitor countries that heavily invest in critical infrastructure have a distinct advantage in economic efficiencies, bringing products to market, and growing their industrial base.
Thus, the imperative for continuous investment in public infrastructure is clear. It is a critical lever for economic stability and social equity, ensuring that both businesses and families not only survive but thrive. As we chart the course for future economic policy, prioritizing infrastructure investment is a commitment to the United States’ collective prosperity and well-being.
