Minnesota Horizons Conference: Minnesota in the Eighties - James Kelly and George Peterson on public infrastructure

January 31, 1983 - James Kelly, president of the Spring Hill Center, and George Peterson, from the Urban Institute in Washington, speaking at the Minnesota Horizons Conference, held in St. Paul. Kelly and Peterson addressed status of Minnesota's infrastructure. Speech was part of day’s theme on how Minnesota population has changed, what that could mean for the future, and what sorts of investments will be needed in housing and public structures. The conference was intended to give state legislators a more comprehensive view of the difficult problems facing the state than they normally get during regular hearings. The conference brought together experts from such fields as economics, energy, housing, agriculture, education, natural resources, and the funding of public services.
