Asset Conversions
Abandoned Appalachian mines are being converted to bike paths, office parks and even a winery. Learn more about the actions and legislation needed for transitioning more mine liabilities into assets in this article in The Revelator magazine.
Ideas
Learn from Australia
Australia has a longer history of systematically addressing government asset management than does the U.S. The Australian Asset Management Council has a government forum for sharing best practices and lessons learned. See more at this link and consider encouraging the U.S. Federal Government to establish a similar forum.
