The Western Council of Construction Consumers (WCCC)
The WCCC hosts conferences throughout California
and has taken a leadership role in educating suppliers of the
construction industry about the lost opportunity they too will face
as a result of a deficient or slow-growing workforce.
CALIFORNIA'S INFRASTRUCTURE
EXPANSION
By Ron Stein, Principle Technical Services
WCCC Program Chairman
Over the next 20 years, California's population
is projected to grow from 33 million to 45 million people.
California is already the world's sixth largest economy.
In anticipation of that population growth, the
Business, Transportation & Housing Agency recently prepared
this report for Governor Davis. The report, "Strategic Planning for
California's Future Prosperity & Quality of Life" examines
California's infrastructure needs over the next 20
years.
The report looks at eight "infrastructures",
education, energy, housing, land use, public facilities,
technology, transportation and water. The report concludes that
significant changes, upgrades and expansions need to be implemented
in all eight infrastructures to meet the demands of population
growth.
In the next decade alone, it is projected that
$100 billion will be spent for these infrastructures.
The WCCC programs will continue to bring those
infrastructure opportunities to the forefront, as it will be the
responsibilities and challenges of our member companies to perform
engineering, procurement and construction of these infrastructures
to meet the demands of the growing California
population.
