The Growth Catalyst: Reviving New York City's Economy Through Infrastructure

As New York City struggles with the great recession, infrastructure development and renewal promise new jobs and long-term growth. Transportation, energy, high technology and communication infrastructure projects are all planned and funded. How quickly will they provide new jobs? Are they already? What are the prospects for long-term structural improvements to the city's economy? And what's missing from the current plans? Remarks: Christopher O. Ward, Executive Director, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) Seth W. Pinsky, President, NYC Economic Development Corporation

Followed by a conversation with: Alyssa Katz, Consultant, Pratt Center for Community Development Robert Yaro, President, Regional Plan Association Kathryn S. Wylde, President & CEO, Partnership for New York City

Moderator: Daniel Massey, Reporter, Crain's New York Business
