On January 31, the White House released the first edition of its Bipartisan Infrastructure Law guidebook for state, local, Tribal, and territorial leaders. The guidebook contains an overview of the funding available under the law and an exploratory document that shows direct federal spending at the program level. Key dates and date ranges, as they currently stand, are included along with planning efforts governments can take to prepare for these programs in 2022 and 2023.
In his remarks to the National Governors Association (NGA), Biden stated 27 states announced they are using more than $14 billion in American Rescue Plan funds to get a head start on rebuilding the country’s infrastructure. He cited roads, bridges, clean water systems, and ports among the nation’s most critical infrastructure needs.
