Rep. Meeks Announces White House’s Guide to Help New York Communities Access Historic Investments in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Gregory W. Meeks touted a comprehensive new guide from the Biden Administration to help New York communities navigate all the historic investments under the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.  This guidebook, available here, highlights how local communities can take full advantage of urgently needed infrastructure funding for road maintenance, expanded public transit, airport upgrades and other critical projects.

“The $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is the largest long-term investment in our infrastructure and competitiveness in nearly a century, and with the largest federal investment in public transit in history, we’ve already begun to see its impact locally with Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) fare hikes and service cuts postponed indefinitely. The law also includes investments to deliver clean drinking water, connect every American to reliable high-speed internet, upgrade our power infrastructure, and enhance our resiliency efforts so that New York’s infrastructure can better withstand future storms,” said Congressman Meeks.

The “Building A Better America” guidebook is a one-stop-shop on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and contains the most comprehensive information to date. The guidebook clarifies the available funding opportunities: what to apply for, who to contact, and how to get ready to rebuild.
