The 79th Annual Meeting of the US Conference of Mayors was held recently in Baltimore. Mayors from around the country met to discuss a broad range of policy issues impacting infrastructure and education reform.
Siemens Industry, Inc. CEO Daryl Dulaney spoke about how city budgets are as tight as they've ever been, yet never have cities been more in need of investing in their futures.
He talked about some of the unacceptable consequences cities face if they don't make investments - black outs, surges in carbon emissions, water shortages and overworked healthcare systems, to name a few.
He did offer some insight of how cities can overcome these challenges. He told how Siemens helped the City of Houston reduce its energy costs by $19.5 million without spending a single penny!
