This study examines the effects of road, electricity, and clean water infrastructure on economic growth in Blora Regency during 2011–2025. Using a quantitative approach, secondary time-series data were collected from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of Blora Regency and related institutions and analyzed through multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 after classical assumption testing. The findings reveal that road and clean water infrastructure positively and significantly influence economic growth, while electricity infrastructure has a significant negative effect. Clean water infrastructure is the most influential variable. Collectively, all infrastructure variables significantly affect regional economic growth, highlighting the importance of improving infrastructure quality, equitable distribution, and electricity utilization to support sustainable economic development.
