The infrastructure bill that was recently signed by President Biden is an historic investment for our state and our country. It is a deal that will create good paying union jobs while modernizing our infrastructure and puts us on a path to address the climate crisis.
Our state will receive $5.38 billion in federal funds over the next five years. This funding will be used to upgrade Connecticut's rail infrastructure, replace and repair bridges and highways, and buildout our electric vehicle charging network. Funds will also expand access to broadband internet and improve water infrastructure to ensure every resident has safe, clean drinking water.
The bill also includes provisions to create an online hub that promotes transparency and ensures federal agencies prioritize purchasing American-made goods.
