FEDERAL FOCUS
It’s Time to Build The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL/IIJA) provides funding for nearly 400 programs and a comprehensive array of project types. SOME PROGRAMS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED through existing block grants to states, but others offer new competitive opportunities, with many programs designed for ease of use by small local governments. The first round of funding opportunities in 2022 is available for transportation projects, with more funding for water, sewer and broadband to be announced in the coming months.
