What does the infrastructure bill mean for Western New York? While less than the original proposal, the bill sets aside money for everything from airports to the replacement of lead pipes. Author: Kelly Dudzik Updated: 5:49 PM EDT July 29, 2021 BUFFALO, N.Y. — While the infrastructure bill proposal includes a lot less spending than what the Biden administration originally proposed, there are still projects included that would benefit our region. The original American Jobs Plan proposed by the White House in March had a roughly $2 trillion price tag. This bill proposes spending about half that. Senator Chuck Schumer's office released some information on Thursday showing some of what's included - $37.5 million dollars for the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, $7.5 million for Niagara Falls International, and less for our smaller airports.
