In Washington, lawmakers are making progress toward passing a $1 trillion infrastructure plan.
The massive bipartisan bill is more than 2,700 pages and would fund upgrades to the nation s roads and bridges.
This bill would aim to improve not just roads and bridges, but public transit, rails, airports and sewers, and would help address flooded area roadways.
The long-awaited infrastructure bill will bring long-delayed funds to cities and counties like Westchester that can rarely afford to make these improvements on their own.
The Construction Industry Council of Westchester and the Hudson Valley represents hundreds of the region s construction businesses. They say this bill is long overdue.
