The Time for Infrastructure Investment is Now

On February 12, the president released his $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan. The plan begins the negotiation process with Congress on investing a significant sum in America's aging and over-burdened infrastructure, streamlining the federal environmental permit and review processes to help deliver needed projects faster, calling for long-term solutions to funding existing federal infrastructure programs, including the Highway Trust Fund, and expanding workforce education, training, and development opportunities. Over the next several weeks and months, Congress will consider the president's plan and put forth infrastructure legislation. Whether or not such legislation is successful depends upon you, and other construction industry professionals, collectively calling upon your federally elected officials to put partisanship aside and do what is right for our nation.
