Prepare for Impact: With Billions Going into Infrastructure Modernization in the US, Will You Be Ready? By Arti LoftusMay 11, 2021
United for Infrastructure Week was kicked off yesterday with a message of hope from President Biden, who expressed the importance of this moment in American history. Infrastructure is about all of us, Biden said. We have a historic opportunity to make historic investments in our infrastructure. It will create millions of good-paying jobs. The American Jobs Plan will set us up to tackle climate change with American workers and American ingenuity, he continued. You know how much this matters, how much it will help our people and the difference it will make for our country well into the future, Biden said, promoting his plan, which includes $621 billion in updates to modernize roads, rails, ports, airports, mass transit, and highways, as well as $45 billion to eliminate all lead pipes.
