A national infrastructure bank would help spur more infrastructure investment by creating a strong federal lending authority capable of financing and coordinating high-value infrastructure investments throughout the country. It could provide low-interest loans and loan guarantees to state, local, and private investors, and help stakeholders connect available capital with financially viable projects and willing partners. Because all of the funds distributed by the bank would be paid back with interest by borrowers following the completion of their projects, the costs to the federal government following the initial capitalization of the bank would be remarkably low. Every federal dollar put into.
