Leaders from Business, Academia Convene to Discuss America’s Infrastructure Needs

The Council on Competitiveness' "Out of the Blue Dialogue" series, which addresses specific issues hindering U.S. manufacturing, stopped in Chattanooga last week to discuss America's infrastructure challenges. The meeting was hosted by Alstom and The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

According to many manufacturing executives, the United States needs to demonstrate greater leadership in building a 21st century world class manufacturing business and transportation infrastructure to reinvigorate the domestic economy and compete effectively.
