Alternative Funding Mechanisms Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Guide to Sustainable Municipal Infrastructure: Innovations and Best Practices is intended to be a decision-making and investment planning tool as well as a compendium of technical best practices and innovations. The Guide will provide a road map to the best available solutions for addressing infrastructure issues. This best practice description focuses on alternative funding. Eight methods of potential interest to municipalities provide options for developing innovative funding sources to meet infrastructure needs, or to align costs with benefits to users. The municipalities profiled have undertaken these methods in a variety of ways that have evolved in response to their infrastructure and community needs. This best practice profiles three specific methods in detail, while another five methods are included but without the same level of detail. Alternative Funding Mechanisms, Detailed Profiles 1.
