Private Companies Urged To Invest In Infrastructure
 |
| We have a lot of these that need fixed. |
So you're a private company sitting on a pile of cash. Why not invest it? In the nation's infrastructure. That
was President Obama's suggestion at the Rural Opportunity Investment Conference last week where representatives of large investment firms from all over the world get together with high-ranking administration officials.
Now Douglas Peterson, Chief Executive Officer of McGraw Hill Financial, says his firm is working on a system to create a platform for investors to see what projects need financing and what the financial benefits are. It's a lot like when they look at stocks.
Peterson shares his commentary on this major and historical undertaking on the 25 CNBC website.
