About
Welcome to the 4th Infraday Midwest. This event aims to bring together policymakers, industry experts, researchers, and stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities related to infrastructure development and modernization across the Midwest region.
Public infrastructure in the Midwest plays a crucial role in supporting economic growth, connectivity, and quality of life for its residents. The region encompasses a vast network of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, airports, railways, water and wastewater systems, energy grids, and public facilities. Investments in the Midwest's public infrastructure aim to address maintenance and modernization needs, enhance transportation efficiency, promote sustainable practices, and ensure resilient infrastructure systems. These efforts are crucial for fostering regional development, attracting businesses, facilitating trade, improving mobility, and providing essential services to communities throughout the Midwest. Public-private partnerships, federal funding, and collaboration among various stakeholders are vital for sustaining and advancing infrastructure initiatives in the region.
2023 Topics Will Include:
Infrastructure Investment – State of the Market
Project Delivery – Delivering Projects More Efficiently and Cost-Effectively
Kansas City – Sustainable Projects
Equity in Public Infrastructure
EV Infrastructure in the Midwest
Tools, Tips, and Tech for ESG - Best Practices for Managing and Measuring Your Environmental, Sustainability, and Governance Goals

Brian Platt, City Manager, City of Kansas City, MO
Brian Platt is the City Manager for the City of Kansas City, Mo. When Platt started work in December of 2020, he was immediately faced with the challenge of fighting a pandemic while still delivering basic services with a shrinking budget. He tackled that challenge by finding answers that work for Kansas City and its residents.
Platt’s successes so far include:
Crafting a balanced $1.73 billion budget that addressed a pandemic-induced $70 million shortfall. The budget avoided staff layoffs or furloughs, maintained essential city services, and even invested in additional resources and essential programs in key areas including housing and homelessness, snow removal, and equity issues.
Developed a comprehensive strategy to improve street maintenance with three key components: digital analysis of pavement; more than doubling the funding for street resurfacing with a new goal of 240 miles of streets to be paved this year; and adopting a stricter excavation policy that requires better coordination between the city and utility companies.
Vision Zero logoLaunched the Vision Zero Campaign, with the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030. Transportation Director Jason Waldron is implementing intersection improvements, traffic signal upgrades and an aggressive plan to install 30 miles protected bike lanes over the first two years, as well as better ways for residents to request safety improvements.
Platt worked with Human Resources Director Teri Casey to build a more inclusive workplace by hiring our first Chief Equity Officer and additional staff to both expand professional development and employee training, with additional efforts to ensure the City’s workforce reflects and supports the people it serves. We developed a policy for all-gender restrooms, negotiated new Fire Department union contract that works to end eliminating discriminatory and racist practices of the past, and have restructured Human Resources to provide more training and support to staff.
KCMO snow plow in actionCreated and implemented a more aggressive approach to residential plowing that now includes a 24-hour snow removal operation, overnight shifts to plow residential streets, increasing the amount of salting during storms, and adding 100 new drivers and 50 new snow removal vehicles.
Feasibility study underway to build the largest city-owned solar farm in the country on thousands of acres at Kansas City International Airport.
Next up, Platt’s vision for improving the delivery of city services includes:
Developing new sustainability initiatives seeking to reducing waste, energy usage, and dependence on fossil fuels
Creating additional programs to produce more affordable housing and to address homelessness
Finding new ways to leverage technology to improve city services
Brian previously served as City Manager for Jersey City, New Jersey. He has served as Jersey City's first Chief Innovation Officer and established the City's Office of Innovation in 2015. His previous work experience includes management consulting with McKinsey & Company and serving as a kindergarten teacher with Teach for America. Mr. Platt earned his Master of Public Administration Degree at Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Philosophy at Emory University.

Gavin Taves, Climate and Energy Project Manager, City of Chicago
Manages Chicago's flagship voluntary building retrofit program (Retrofit Chicago), reducing the emissions of over 100 energy-intense facilities. Gavin also secured $10 million to pivot Retrofit Chicago to community anchor buildings, creating a pathway for 20-50 energy retrofits of key institutions in low-income and BIPOC neighborhoods.
• Oversees Chicago's benchmarking ordinance strategy and enforcement. As part of this work, Gavin manages contracted staff to implement the document collection, data analysis, reporting, and fining mechanism for over 2,800 buildings (700 million sqft) in the City, saving an estimated $20 million annually (emissions equivalent of removing 400,000 cars from the road).
• Develops building decarbonization policy alongside a working group of over 50 organizations, creating a framework for a building performance standard.
• Leads the community organizing, strategy development, and project management of Chicago's industrial decarbonization strategy. Working with ComEd, Peoples Gas, and the EPA Region 5 staff to offer energy saving incentive programs, challenges, and financing opportunities to lower the emissions profile of industrial facilities, specifically focusing on operations in environmental justice communities.
• Coordinates a low-income housing climate resiliency strategy for Chicago's Department of Housing alongside Bloomberg Associates.
• Designed and secured $188 million in climate investments for the City of Chicago, equitably illuminating the needs of the City's environmental advocacy network. The investments represent the single largest down-payment on climate action in Chicago's history. Examples of projects include a three-fold increase to urban tree planting, a $26 million commitment to low-income housing resiliency, and funding for the historic African American Heritage Trail.
• Secured an A- climate adaptation and mitigation score for Chicago per CDP reporting criteria in conjunction with C40.
