Sometimes infrastructure can be an afterthought or at least a low priority. States are often scrambling for money to fund schools (including all the expenses, not chiefly fixing ceilings and parking lots), to pay for public employees, to provide welfare benefits, and possibly to deal with particular threats or recent disasters. Therefore, the money for roads or dams may seem like an extra. However, large companies carefully look at road quality, amount of large highways without congestion, and sometimes access to train tracks, public transportation, and other factors. That is how infrastructure can have big economic impacts for not just for companies involved directly in upgrading infrastructure, but for the industry at large. And on a day-to-day basis, failings in roads, as well as closures for construction, can cost a lot of money. It’s strange that governments focus on so many economic factors other than infrastructure, particularly since infrastructure products, by definition, create jobs.
