Navigating the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) was an exciting moment for federal agencies, state and local governments, and energy providers. As that excitement evolves into action, officials must solve an array of challenges: How do federal, state, and local entities work together? What should collaboration among cities, energy companies, and corporations look like? Which projects and programs can achieve broadscale objectives and have the biggest impact on our infrastructure and economy? How should funding be allocated among them?

Impact of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

The scope of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is historic. It's the largest investment ever in broadband, transportation, clean energy, water, and other sectors, allocated among more than 350 programs. The need is as momentous as its size: As the effects of climate change on communities and infrastructure become more apparent, cities, states, and energy companies must create more resilient systems to mitigate threats and avoid significant future costs. At the same time, these investments aim to create well-paying jobs and support underserved communities.
