The Infrastructure Bill and the Impact on Government Spending
Local government plays a vital role in the day-to-day operations of our communities. Whether it’s a new building, water treatment plant, transit project, or a facility for community use, the effect of local government projects is wide-ranging.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure plan is leading the largest industrial change since the advent of the internal combustion engine. “We’re very overdue for a strategic infrastructure initiative,” says Norm Anderson, CEO of CG/LA Infrastructure. As the biggest change in 120 years, this means that public policies and institutions will need to change—the way things have always been done, just won't meet Federal or public standards.
