The University of Texas at Austin is launching a new center dedicated to the municipal bond market, ahead of an anticipated boom in infrastructure investments.
Dubbed the Center on Municipal Capital Markets, the new initiative will be housed under the institution’s Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. It’s part of a broader push by university president Jay Hartzell to address extreme weather as a result of climate change and the energy grid’s transition to renewable power.
