The signing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) brought the single largest investment in water the government has ever made. 

This Summit brought together over 160 industry leaders across our Basin to talk about what infrastructure means when it comes to the Catawba-Wateree, trends in future infrastructure investments, and how we can work together to position ourselves for better investments.

The 2022 Summit was held from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and focused on infrastructure planning and collaboration to position ourselves for better investments to extend the resources of the Catawba-Wateree River.
