New Libertarian Think Tank Term for Public Private Partnerships- Asset Recycling

A D.C. based, Libertarian Think Tank, Competitive Enterprise Institute, proposed asset recycling to Utah legislators.

Here’s how asset recycling works:

• states can sell or lease revenue-generating, publicly owned assets to the private sector

• the private sector takes over the maintenance costs and makes payments to the states.

• This frees up state assets, allowing states to fund other projects that may be less capable of generating their own supporting revenue

• states create an infrastructure inventory that tracks revenue-generating assets
