The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law: Investments in Water, Energy, and Environment

On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which will provide more than $1 trillion ($550 billion in new spending) of investment in physical infrastructure over five years. The dollar amounts are large and broad allocation across sectors has been announced, but there is much to understand about how the program will be implemented and how it will impact the scope and timing of project funding.

In this event, you’ll hear more about what the infrastructure bill intends to fund, including water and energy projects. As well as hear from one federal agency ready to work with local government to disburse funds to build the critical infrastructure needed in each of our areas.
