March 3 (EIRNS)\u2014The American Society of Civil Engineers released its 2021 Infrastructure Report Card. Although the grade improved to a C-, up from a D+ in 2017, the investment gap\u2014the funding required to get all infrastructure to a \u201cB\u201d rating\u2014has grown from $2.1 trillion over ten years to $2.6 trillion over ten years. The ASCE estimates that continuing failures to invest adequately in infrastructure will cost $10 trillion in GDP over the next two decades, which is double the shortfall in spending over that time period!
