On November 15, 2021, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) (Public Law 117-58) was signed into law, providing $550 billion in new federal infrastructure funds through 2026. The investment provides opportunities for development of transportation, power, and water infrastructure. The bipartisan infrastructure law will support the U.S. economy at federal, state, and local levels by leveraging the investments by state and local governments to expand clean water initiatives, internet access, transportation options and safety, environmental sustainability, and economic development across the country.
