Federal Infrastructure Update (10 minutes)
Dale McKeel, LPA Staff
Narrative
On March 31, the Biden Administration proposed the American Jobs Plan. In total, the American Jobs Plan proposes more than $2 trillion in new federal spending over the next 8 years, 2022 to 2029. Of this, more than $600 billion would be invested in transportation infrastructure and in programs to promote resilience. The Administration’s fact sheet on the proposal is at <https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/03/31/fact-sheet-the-american-jobs-plan/>. Congress is now tasked with developing legislation around the President’s proposal that may eventually be enacted into law. As part of this task, MPO staff has provided reference letters for three local earmark requests. DCHC MPO staff will provide a brief presentation.
