differentlevels of cost and achieve different levels of infrastructure integrity (II) for redeveloping thelocal electric infrastructure. A conceptual framework has been developed, together with metricsand computational methods for assessing infrastructure integrity [1-4]. II is the ability of aninfrastructure system to exhibit reliability, flexibility, resilience, and adaptability. Although II isuseful for application to any infrastructure system, it is particularly applicable to electricsystems, and it provides a foundation on which to build in considering the future development ofelectric grids. For each vision, strengths and weaknesses, and in so doing, we intend to providestrong rationale regarding the best path forward for re-developing the local
