Speaker: Senior Advisor to the President and White House Infrastructure Coordinator Mitch Landrieu
Description: The Biden-Harris Administration has hit the ground running to implement the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and it is already delivering results for the people of Florida. In the first year of the law, over $8 billion in funding has been announced and is headed to Florida with over 170 specific projects identified for funding.
This includes over $6.2 billion for transportation to invest in roads, bridges, public transit, ports and airports and over $275 million for clean water. And, to date, more than 1 million households across the state are receiving affordable internet due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Many more projects will be added in the coming months and years, as funding opportunities become available across sectors. Coordinator Landrieu will discuss how to access the funding available to Florida communities in the coming years from this once-in-generation investment in our infrastructure.
