“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built”
Abraham Lincoln
16th President of the United States
So how will this whole program work?
- Project submission
- Committee analysis
- Hearing and discussion
- “Vote’ to approve or not to approve
Project Submissions: three expected examples
Regional Projects: Proposed by the Committee
Because of their size, regional projects have an impact on a region and provide benefits to everyone associated with that region. A classic example would be the creation of a storage dam. Overall, with assistance from industry experts, their location and impact will determine the parties, sponsorship, oversight and funding of the project.
Joint Ventures
Developed and submitted projects can be handled in one of two ways. First, the individual region can handle the project, with the second being a joint venture between two or more countries/regions. An example could be the construction of a roadway or bridge. Overall, that bridge could be constructed by one region, but often is better when two regions “partner” in its construction and operation(s).
Individual Country projects
A country wants to set aside land to construct a solar farm, and needs money to construct the facility.
Project List Creation:
- The oversight committee will catalogue, document and order projects;
- Hearings will be conducted to determine projects and related priorities;
- The Committee will help decide on what projects to support and fund through professional analysis and then a vote;
- People, businesses and countries will submit ideas, and the committee will review them for legitimacy and validity.
Sample Project List: 3 examples
- Highway similar in nature to the Pan American Freeway – construct or rebuild the freeway system, stretching from the Gaza/Egyptian boarder as far north as possible;
- Rail transportation – expand rail to fit multiple regions/countries;
- Fun port improvements;
