THE DANGER OF P3s | PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS
Public Private Partnerships—or P3s— is the name given to a method of privatizing services and facilities. In a typical P3 deal, the government allows for-profit private corporations to finance, design, build and/or operate facilities. The government commits to lease the facility and use certain services for a period of as much as 30 years or more.
