Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R. 3684) was signed into law November 15, 2021 by President Biden and will provide opportunities for states to invest in and fund critical infrastructure needs throughout different communities while additionally upgrading related and existing projects.
