1999 State Infrastructure Finance Collaboration Survey

As a follow-up to the October 1998, Big IF (infrastructure finance) workshop, during the summer of 1999, COSCDA conducted a poll of its members to determine which states collaborate across agency boundaries to coordinate the financing of water and wastewater systems for local governments.

Collaboration has been either the central or underlying theme of each of the four Big IF workshops. It became apparent at the 1998 workshop that many states did collaborate, but to differing degrees. This survey merely attempted to organize in one table, the responses received from email, fax, mail and telephone surveys.

Forty-five states ultimately responded to the survey. The survey did not require any comments to be submitted with the questionnaire responses, but did provide space for comments. All explanations or comments were purely voluntary.

Forty-one states report some sort of infrastructure financing collaboration between different federal and state agencies. Of the forty-one states that collaborate, thirty states have a formalized committee that meets on a regular basis.
