About Us

We address critical infrastructure needs

Overview

American Infrastructure Partners collaborates with communities, municipalities, and cities to address their critical local infrastructure needs. Our goal is to create newly aligned infrastructure that provides communities immediate access to essential services through real assets deployed to meet needs in education, logistics, transportation and rural broadband.

As our infrastructure investments are deployed in communities, AIP works with our partners to provide the latest technology and best practices to continuously enhance local services through experience we’ve developed over a lifetime of collaboration with communities, management and users.

What We Do

Testimonial
